Beyond Burnout: Finding Balance, Enhancing Resilience – Free

Description

Burnout, moral distress, and compassion fatigue are well-documented risks we encounter in our work with people facing grief and loss. That’s the bad news. The good news is that we can—and often do—wrest personal and professional growth from this challenging and deeply rewarding work. In this webinar we will explore the causes of these risks to us in our clinical work, and identify strategies and techniques for managing and transforming stress, enhancing meaning in the work, and increasing clinical effectiveness.
