An Introduction to the Betterminds' Red Flags to Burnout Course
This course has been designed as a direct response to the increased risk to burnout of specific professionals. In therapy it is the norm to see junior and senior management from medicine, especially GP’s, social care and education because the personalities who are drawn to those professional are themselves intuitively caring.
Burnout training has been designed to address the need to upskill these professionals so that they balance their need to be professional carers without losing sight of the need to be responsible for their own needs.
By increasing your own knowledge of how to identifying and managing the risks of burnout, as well as that of your teams, you will be able to greatly improve the overall service output of your organisation. You will also create an increase in team morale and self-fulfilment, which will result in stronger, longer lasting relationships between your team and your service users.
With increasing workplace pressures, it is important for you to take a step back and allow time for self-evaluation. This can include stopping to look at your mental health, your workload and your daily routines. If this is neglected, burnout can occur.
