Description:
This workshop focuses on using mindfulness-based interventions to reduce chronic stress, burnout and compassion fatigue in helping professionals to improve overall wellness in addition to improving client care (Anclair, et. al., 2018). While the pandemic has caused an increase in stress for everyone, those in the helping profession were greatly impacted (Newell, J. M., 2017).
Primary issues to be covered include understanding and defining burnout and compassion fatigue and understanding how they negatively impact overall wellness and patient care (Taylor, N. Z., & Millear, P. M. R., 2016). Participants will also learn about the stress response and how to intentionally stimulate the related relaxation response to better manage and decrease compassion fatigue. Participants will learn practical coping skills and effective tools to reduce their own burnout and develop awareness of the signs of stress and burnout (Suyi, Y., Meredith, P., & Khan, A., (2017).
Agenda:
Introduction-10-15 minutes
Psychoeducation about burnout, compassion fatigue and stress response and relaxation response, the mind body connection: 45 minutes
Mindfulness Exercises and skills along with practical tips and strategies to combat burnout and thrive in the helping profession: 50 minutes
Questions: 5-10 minutes
*Program does not include breaks
Learning Objectives:
-Participants will define Burnout and Compassion Fatigue and understand its effects on the emotional and physical health of helping professionals and client care
- Participants will discover ways to navigate the ongoing stress and challenges of the pandemic using mindfulness interventions and practices as helping professionals.
-Participants will identify symptoms of chronic stress, burnout and compassion fatigue in helping professionals and provide potential solutions and strategies to improve them.

Social workers, marriage and family therapists, and professional counselors in Pennsylvania can receive continuing education from providers approved by the American Psychological Association. Since CBI is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education, licensed social workers, licensed marriage and family therapists, and licensed professional counselors in Pennsylvania will be able to fulfill their continuing education requirements by attending CBI continuing education programs. For professionals outside the state of Pennsylvania, you must confirm with your specific State Board that APA approved CE's are accepted towards your licensure requirements. The Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) has a process for approving individual programs or providers for continuing education through their Approved Continuing Education (ACE) program. ACE approved providers and individual courses approved by ASWB are not accepted by every state and regulatory board for continuing education credits for social workers. Every US state other than New York accepts ACE approval for social workers in some capacity: New Jersey only accepts individually approved courses for social workers, rather than courses from approved providers. The West Virginia board requires board approval for live courses, but accepts ASWB ACE approval for other courses for social workers. For more information, please see https://www.aswb.org/ace/ace-jurisdiction-map/. Whether or not boards accept ASWB ACE approved continuing education for other professionals such as licensed professional counselors or licensed marriage and family therapists varies by jurisdiction. To determine if a course can be accepted by your licensing board, please review your board’s regulations or contact them. State and provincial regulatory boards have the final authority to determine whether an individual course may be accepted for continuing education credit.
