Description:
The purpose of this micro project is to help address burnout among mental health clinicians. Burnout among mental health clinicians has developed a growing body of research over the last decade (Maslach & Leiter, 2016).). Despite this, burnout continues to create challenges for practitioners, which can also negatively impact their clients (De Hert, 2020; Razai et al., 2023).

Burnout is a psychological syndrome emerging as a prolonged response to chronic interpersonal stressors on the job (Maslach & Leiter, 2016). Burnout is a symptom of work-related stress brought on by ongoing exposure to work-related stress (De Hert, 2020). In modern society, burnout has emerged as a significant psychological workplace risk that has a substantial financial impact on individuals and companies (Han et al., 2019; Simionato et al., 2019). It affects employees throughout the organization, increasing conflict and interfering with job responsibilities, lowering output and performance (Maslach & Leiter, 2016). Approximately, one in three healthcare providers experience burnout at any given time (De Hert, 2020). When highly skilled and educated clinicians and healthcare professionals leave the field due to burnout, it exacerbates issues with patient access to essential care, leading to a new type of public health disaster (Gengoux, 2020). Due to the severe detrimental effects that burnout has on employees' personal and professional lives, as well as the economies and public health of the most affected nations, the World Health Organization (WHO) has included burnout syndrome as a condition unique to the occupational context in the 11th Revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) (Edú-Valsania et al., 2022).

Agenda:
- 5:45-6pm Definitions of burnout
- 6-6:15pm Trauma informed lens of burnout
- 6:15-6:40pm Interventions to help prevent burnout
- 6:40-6:45pm Q&A

Learning Objectives:
-Participants will recall definitions of burnout
-Participants will interpret how stress and trauma influences burnout
-Participants will describe trauma-informed interventions to prevent burnout

Cognitive Behavior Institute maintains responsibility for content of this program. Social workers, marriage and family therapists, and professional counselors in Pennsylvania can receive continuing education from providers approved by the American Psychological Association.

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.

State and provincial regulatory boards have the final authority to determine whether an individual course may be accepted for continuing education credit.
