Empathy, Compassion and Burnout Prevention

Academic Mentors Meeting

Dear Mentors,

This is a reminder to please register for our next Academic Mentors Meeting on May 12. We are offering two identical one-hour sessions, one at noon PST and the other at 3:30 pm PST. Please note that you MUST REGISTER TO RECEIVE THE ZOOM LINK.

Our guest presenter will be Dr. Estera Boldut, MAMFT, RSW, PsyD. She will be sharing on "Empathy, Compassion and Burnout." Research is telling us that people in care profession like us and our students, are at high risk of burnout. Without adequate self-care approaches, the question is not "if" we will burnout, but "when". Hence, Estera will bring practical advice on how to create a rhythm of life that helps prevent burnout.

Estera's presentation will be followed by a time of small group discussion and open discussion.
