Beyond Burnout: Mind-Body Skills for Healing Together

Recorded On: 11/16/2022

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted and exacerbated the already existing secondary trauma in health care settings. While burnout is the emotional exhaustion associated with one’s workplace, secondary traumatic stress is experiencing the firsthand trauma of others. It is important to understand the difference in order to provide appropriate interventions to support well-being, work environments, and outcomes. In this session, we will discuss mind-body medicine and the use of mind-body skills as an evidence-based approach to support individuals experiencing secondary traumatic stress in addition to burnout. 

Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this session, learners will be able to: 
• Describe distinctions between stress, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress. 
• Discuss the benefits of practicing mind-body medicine skills.
• Identify how a mind-body skills group can support health care worker’s well-being.
