Burnout

One of the biggest takeaways from this session was how often burnout occurs, yet how little it's mentioned in society. The passage on school counseling and how common it is tells me that burnout is happening in one of the most important aspects of a school's success. Not only that, but I'm sure 33%-66% of school counselors with burnout will increase as the years go on.

The effects of burnout on productivity and performance are already severe, but this can be dangerous for counselors working in crisis scenarios. This isn't just the case for mental health; that decline in effectiveness can put others at risk if a person's occupation includes safety or health.

Strategies

I believe that using mindfulness techniques to help relax the body after a stressful day can help mediate some of the effects of burnout. Muscle relaxation techniques can help calm the body down after stressful situations. Combining this with deep breathing can help the body physically calm itself down and may help a person sleep as well.
