Helping Clients Identify and Manage Burnout:
Assessment, Management, and Prevention Strategies
Hosted by Ilona Salmons, ED.D, LMFT
OVERVIEW:
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented challenges and disruptions on a global scale. While the public health crisis has impacted the workforce at large, the current climate stands to exacerbate health issues among an already stressed-out generation of professionals who constantly feel the pressure to do more. With competing personal and professional demands, the modern work environment is putting people at a higher risk of developing burnout.

The training will conclude with strategies for clinicians to help their clients prevent or manage burnout.
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this 1-hour presentation, attendees will be able to:
