Thinking Differently About Burnout
Tuesday, June 28th, 2022, 4:00-5:30pm EDT
Dialogue event, online in Zoom, free and open to all.
RSVP here to receive Zoom login details. See optional pre-readings here.
Description: Burnout is discussed everywhere from academic journals to happy hour gatherings. With the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the American Psychological Association acknowledges increased strains, stressors, and yes, burnout, at all-time high levels. Yet efforts to define this undesirable term, avoidance of its symptoms, and the finality often associated with burnout all commonly overlook a critical and creative approach to reframing the burnout process. In this dialogue, we will investigate alternate perspectives to the common, unidirectional negativity that envelops burnout. CCT graduates Caitlin Quarrington and Ali Orsi Davis will introduce the topic and facilitate a dialogue process that provides participants with space for reflection on burnout and how to further support their own communities. We invite you to stay for the amount of time that works for you.
Recommended pre-readings: please see this compilation of items on burnout if you have time before the session.
