Revive, Refresh, Renew: Personal Resilience to Reinvigorate Your Practice
Rates of burnout among counselors have been measured at over 40% and up to 80% in some clinician groups. Burnout can be caused by internal characteristics that contribute to success as a counselor, such as dedication, compassion, and empathy, as well as external factors, such as workload, isolation, lack of control, and productivity requirements. The purpose of this webinar is to assist counselors with identifying the warning signs of burnout and the impact burnout has on emotional well-being. Counselors will be guided to assess their current capacity for self-care and identify areas for growth and development. Resilience building strategies will be explored.
Participants will be able to:
- Identify and describe burnout risk factors and symptoms.
- Recognize the importance of counselor self-care on the counselor’s effectiveness with clients.
- Develop a personal resilience plan to establish work–life balance and maintain therapeutic engagement with clients.
