- Thursday, June 4, 2020; 1-2:30 PM ET

Join this webinar to rekindle your passion and to discover the red flags of burnout, strategies to develop a self-compassionate state-of-mind, and tips to prevent burnout.
Objectives:
- Understand self-care and signs of burnout to establish protective elements to meet the daily challenges of the job.
- Recognize the major sources of stress and potential burnout to address your specific needs.
- Envision self-care practices and create a self-compassionate mindset to cultivate health and well-being.
