SESSION OVERVIEW

Practice Spotlight - Lighting Up – Managing burnout & compassion fatigue 

As the challenges of burnout continue for many OTs with the ongoing workload demands, client complexities and staff shortages, this workshop takes a deeper look into burnout and compassion fatigue.  The workshop will support participants to develop practical skills and strategies to manage and prevent burnout and compassion fatigue.  

Recognising, addressing and managing burnout are important to having balance in your life, job satisfaction and career longevity. 

This 2-part workshop builds on previous webinars that OTA have run on burnout and compassion fatigue with a strong practical focus. Registrant numbers are strictly capped at 20 to facilitate this practical, interactive and safe space to develop their own personal compassion fatigue and burnout management and prevention plan.  

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Suitable for all OTs at any career stage. 

It is preferrable that those attending this workshop to have completed either   Balance or Burnout - An OT approach to managing burnout and compassion fatigue by Nicole de la Perrelle or Burnout & Compassion Fatigue by Toni Knight as there will be assumed knowledge about what is burnout and compassion fatigue.  Both these webinars are available in the CPD Library.

The key learning objectives for this this 2-part workshop series are: 

1. Identifying strategies to achieve healthy work-life balance including prioritising self-care, managing perfectionism and people pleasing and setting boundaries.
