FSAP Wellness Webinar: Burnout or Boundaries

Register

Do you ever just…need a minute? Have you felt like the “go to” person on a professional team or at home? Do you keep thinking about ways to problem-solve issues long after others have given up?

Well…then you might be a highly skilled person who is also at high risk for burnout. 

Being excellent doesn’t have to include burnout. 

This free webinar series is specifically designed to help you capitalize on your strengths without sacrificing your sanity. Psychological research and common sense generally agree that taking time to assess and address our ever-changing personal needs, work-life balance, and general wellbeing is not a one-time event. 

Our upcoming lunch-time immersion webinar on Burnout & Boundary Setting focuses specifically on navigating a New Year with new challenges.

This month’s Mental Health Webinar will utilize empirically reviewed psychological theory and skills focused on the effective assessment, planning, and integration of setting and maintaining our personal limits as they directly support our overall wellness, including:

1. Reviewing common myths about burnout & boundary setting
2. Sharing specific tools for assessing our (current) specific areas of growth
3. Exploring a variety of skills designed to help us more effectively engage at work and at home
4. Creating an individualized plan for preparation, integration, and reassessment of our wellbeing throughout the year
