Join us on Thursday, July 23 from 12-1PM for a virtual workshop on stress and negativity led by Gina Johnson. Register in advance for this meeting: https://illinois.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJEvf-mvrz4rHNCoe5VfENK3F2wZ0JnBWfRl.
In this workshop, we will discuss the different types of stress, including eustress and distress. We will discuss how distress leads to burnout and what the signs of burnout look like in the helping profession. We want to help individuals to see that distress also triggers negativity bias and if we are unaware of our coping mechanisms and habit loops we will unintentionally become burnout.
Gina’s goal is to empower workshop attendees to learn the signs and triggers of burnout and develop a self-care plan to prevent it. We will spend time learning practical strategies on the areas that we can control: thoughts, attitudes, efforts and actions.
