In this virtual webinar presentation, hosted by the Fairfax Area Agency on Aging, participants will join Deborah Ross, LPC, Certified Journal Therapist, for a user-friendly exploration of what happens in our brains when we're feeling burned out. Burnout is often defined either as a workplace issue or as compassion fatigue, but research has shown that, from the brain’s perspective, it’s not just limited to this definition. Participants will gain strategies and practices that go beyond our usual self-care toolbox to lower stress and support wellbeing while engaged in the important work of caregiving.
