About the Event

This 3-hour course examines the signs and symptoms of burnout and the theories that help explain the unique mental health stressors experienced by interdisciplinary healthcare professionals, including residents, physicians, nurses, and mental health clinicians. Characteristics that often contribute to success and achievement in healthcare can also increase vulnerability to stress-related symptoms, anxiety, depression, and burnout. Research suggests that highly caring and conscientious professionals may be at greater risk for burnout. Theories such as maladaptive perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and compassion fatigue provide a framework for understanding how high personal expectations can contribute to psychological distress. As more mental health clinicians focus their practice on supporting healthcare professionals, and healthcare organizations increasingly employ on-site mental health clinicians and wellness coaches, there is a growing need for evidence-based interventions tailored to this population. This training will review relevant theory, case examples, traditional stress management and anxiety treatment approaches, and mindfulness and health promotion strategies to help prevent burnout and promote well-being.

Live Event
This live online event will be held as a Zoom Webinar. Attendees will have the option to interact through features such as the Chat and Q&A, but cameras and microphones will not be enabled.

Live Event Instructor

Katherine Daly, Ph.D.

Katherine Daly, Ph.D.

As a counseling psychologist and scientist-practitioner, I am interested in psychological interventions that are applied to promote physical and psychological health and reduce burnout in healthcare professionals. For the last decade, my clinical and research background has focused on applying health promotion and wellness interventions to the medical learner population by increasing accessibility, reducing stigma, and engaging the community in dialogue and awareness about mental health and wellness (topics such as sleep, suicide prevention, lifestyle medicine and burnout). I was a co-investigator on a national grant to help healthcare professionals have better access to resilience training and evidenced-based techniques for reducing burnout. I am passionate about teaching clinicians and healthcare professions on how to prevent and treat burnout, and how to improve their own self-care.

Target Audience

This live interactive is intended for Behavioral Health and Physical Health professionals, including psychologists, social workers, counselors, marriage & family therapists, art therapists, school psychologists, psychoanalysts, music therapists, behavior analysts, school counselors, teachers, addiction counselors, athletic trainers, dentistries, occupational therapies, physical therapists, physicians, and prevention specialists. It is appropriate for all levels of knowledge.

  2. 2 Describe evidence-based treatment approaches, counseling theories, and techniques for working with healthcare professionals experiencing burnout.
