Overtime. Pushing for a spot on the team. Gotta make the billable hours. No Pain, No Gain. Have to make the grade. These behaviors may ring too true for many, and they come with potentially fantastic reinforcers but how costly are these behaviors in the long run? It’s not uncommon these behaviors can signal burnout is on the horizon. And that’s ok. It’s understandable! Behavior is a product of the environment, multiple contingencies, competing reinforcement and burnout can be analyzed and addressed through multiple behavior analytic lenses. In this LIVE event we’re meeting with Dr. Julie Slowiak, PHD, BCBA-D, and Founder of InJewelLLC, to talk about her behavior analytic exploration and how it’s lead her to investigate the burnout phenomenon that is pervasive across environments and people.
Julie’s current research interests focus on issues related to worker wellbeing, particularly within human service professions, and specifically as they relate to personal and professional self-care and burnout. In addition, she is interested in issues related to psychological safety in sport and how it affects both student-athlete mental health and coach burnout. And further still! exploring organizational factors that influence wellbeing and sustained employment of those with invisible and episodic chronic health conditions. Burnout is pervasive across environments, organizations, and people. Some will experience burn out during school, pushing hard to get the grade. Others in their job with trying to meet all the billing requirements. Yet others will experience burn out as a caregiver; caring for another individual can take a lot of energy and time, with little down time to “recharge”. So schedule some down time for yourself and register to hear Julie’s discussion about observing, preventing, and working through burnout using a variety of behavioral techniques and methods.
