About the webinar:
Burnout has been documented as a central concern to the healthcare workforce. Prior to the pandemic, efforts were underway to reduce burnout for clinical and non-clinical personnel.  However, with pandemic-related staffing crises and ongoing shortages, those who have remained on the front lines are calling out for help and support with reducing burnout.  

We are pleased to offer this special session to help case managers and disability management specialists better understand the evidence-based practices that reduce symptoms of burnout. These specially curated practices have been tested and accepted by clinical and non-clinical teams prior to and during the pandemic. The proposed practices are brief and easily adopted individually or within a team context before, during and after shifts; they can also be extended during staff meetings, retreats and personal time. 

Learning outcomes: 

  • Define burnout and its symptoms
  • Identify effective and ineffective strategies to care for burnout 
  • Apply the complementary framework (Pause, Notice and Respond) in addition to other evidence-based compassion and mindfulness practices
  • Practice self-observation, emotional regulation, Compassion Science and rapid response techniques
