9 Burnout Prevention Track 9

10 Something We Who Serve Others Rarely Speak About Us We are the role models that... Display resilience Choose to cope in healthy ways Admit vulnerability and personal limits Reject stigma See strength in seeking help How do we define success? 10

11 To touch many lives over a lifetime of service and connection with others Burnout Prevention Caring professionals are at increased risk because of the intensity of their work and the emotional bonds they form with the people they serve. Burnout is Not Inevitable First, we must have appropriate boundaries both to serve young people in a way that assures they remain in control of their lives AND to protect us emotionally. Part of this is also about understanding when their behavior is about us, and when it is not. When we are trauma-informed, we know both how to serve youth respectfully and effectively, and to intuitively understand when their behaviors do not reflect on us. 11

12 Burnout is Not Inevitable Second, we must know that what we do matters. We are positioned to produce effective interactions when we view youth through a positive lens, removing shame or stigma from our interactions. We learn that what we do makes a difference when our interactions are effective. We produce effective interactions when we have the skills to facilitate youth to arrive at their own wise decisions. We must also know that we will not always see the fruits of the seeds we plant, but that planting them was indeed meaningful Burnout is Not Inevitable Third, we must be as committed to self-care as we are to teaching others to care for themselves. Unit 1- Boundaries This effort should begin by highlighting the importance of appropriate boundaries and bringing to light unintended, inappropriate boundaries (Chapter 20 Boundaries). 12

13 Finding your buttons Boundaries The Rescue Fantasy Love without boundaries is not safe for anyone How much can you give each person? Unit 2 - More on Boundaries: Trauma Informed Care Teaches Us What is About Us and What is Not About Us 13

14 Unit 3- What We Do Matters: Forging Effective Relationships Setting the Stage Body Language 14

15 Behavioral Change 101 (What they re missing) The Five Steps of Behavioral Change 1. Awareness 2. Motivation 3. Skills 4. Trial and error 5. Maintenance Confidence gets it started and shame paralyzes all efforts 15

16 Finding Competence Building Confidence Unit 4 - What We Do Matters: Helping Youth Generate Solutions Motivational Interviewing Helping Adolescents Own their Solutions Gaining a Sense of Control One Step at a time 16

17 Unit 5 What We Do Matters: Trusting That We are Planting Seeds Unit 6 Learning Self Care While Paying Attention To Teaching Youth to Care for Themselves Mindfulness 17

18 Coping Resilience Is about learning to cope, in a positive way with life s inevitable stressors We might do our greatest good by raising youth with a wide repertoire of positive coping strategies Relief Positive Coping Strategies Stress You Feel Awful!!! Discomfort Negative Coping Strategies 18

19 Relief Positive Coping Strategies Stress You Feel Awful!!! Discomfort Negative Coping Strategies Distinguishing Paper Tigers from Real tigers Knowing When Bad Things are Temporary Knowing When Good Things are Permanent Coping Engagement vs. Disengagement Emotion Focused vs. Problem Focused 19

20 A Stress Management Plan for Teenagers (But that starts in childhood, and might even apply to us) Stress Management : Tackling The Problem 1) Making the problem manageable 2) Active Avoidance 3) Let Some things go Serenity Prayer Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference 20

21 Stress Management : Taking Care of My Body 4)Exercise o Fear o Anger Stress Management : Managing Emotions 8) Instant Vacations Stress Management : Managing Emotions 9) Emotional Releases 21

22 Stress Management Plan : Making the World Better 10) Contributing to the world Unit 7 - Prioritizing Self Care Just Because You Deserve It!! The Worst thing is not to be stressed... it is to be NUMB The Tupperware Box 22

23 Now, let s go change the world!! 23
