RECORDED WEBINAR SUMMARY

Practice Spotlight - Balance or Burnout? An OT Approach to Managing Burnout and Compassion Fatigue

Are you thinking of leaving your job or even the OT profession to find more satisfaction elsewhere?  Are you finding it difficult to complete tasks that seem simple, procrastinating, feeling inefficient or unmotivated?  Are you feeling stressed with decreasing tolerance? These could all be signs that you are on the path of burnout. 

OTs are at high risk of burnout but often don’t take the time to firstly recognise if they are heading towards burnout nor set time aside to look after themselves and put in place strategies to support their wellbeing and enhance their work-life balance. 

Workload demands and staff shortages across many sectors that OTs work in further compound the risk of burnout and decreased engagement at work. 

Recognising burnout and if you are at risk are important first steps to working on having balance in your life, job satisfaction and career longevity. 

Join Nicole de la Perrelle as she explores burnout through an OT lens and shares her experience of burnout along with strategies to prevent, manage and provide balance in one’s life.  

“Burnout. I didn’t think it would happen to me – a passionate OT, who had always felt like my work was a vocation more than just a job.”(Nicole de la Perrelle)
