Frontline workers (e.g., teachers, mental health professionals, paramedics, health care workers) are experiencing unprecedented levels of chronic stress, fatigue, and burnout as a result of the pandemic that deeply impacts personal and professional relationships. In this 2-hour interactive workshop, participants will learn about the physiology of chronic stress and burnout, how this impacts emotional, social, and psychological well-being, and ways to effectively manage, prevent and raise team morale.

This experience includes:

A customized workbook with journal prompts to enhance learning outcomes
A psychoeducation using the latest science-backed evidence
2-3 tangible psychosomatic (e.g., mindfulness, movement) practices to address symptoms
