Reaching the Fabulous Zone: Beating Burnout Together

Join Vikki for an insightful webinar that delves into the nuances of vicarious trauma and burnout, exploring how the spiritual and ethical challenges of our work impact our well-being and our ability to uphold dignity and social justice for our clients. We’ll differentiate Collective Care from traditional self-care, emphasizing the importance of community support in our resilience journey. Together, we’ll examine the power of hope and challenge the patronizing self-care advice often given to workers. This session will provide a client-centered approach to resisting burnout, advocating for compassionate treatment of ourselves and our colleagues. By the end, participants will be inspired to step into The Zone of Fabulousness, a state of fulfillment and resilience in their professional lives.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Distinguish between vicarious trauma and burnout, including associated spiritual and ethical pain.
  • Understand Collective Care and its role in preventing workplace burnout.
  • Explore hope's significance and ways to nurture a positive outlook.
  • Develop client-centered strategies to resist burnout through compassionate care.
  • Discover practical tools to achieve fulfillment in ‘The Zone of Fabulousness’.
