Introduction:

Being passionate about the work you do in the charity sector does not make you immune to the potential experience of burnout. Whether the roles are paid or voluntary, people have often chosen to work for a charity for a values based reason, will often go above and beyond with limited resources. Work and home life have become increasingly blurred in recent times with many of us are working longer hours. The societal changes caused by the pandemic are still there creating conditions for the perfect storm of burnout to raise its head.

Burnout is more than the casual word we sometimes use in conversation. True burnout as defined by the World Health Organisation and now included in the 11th edition of the International Classification of Diseases is more concerning and detrimental than the daily irritations everyone experiences and most of us manage.

The Mental Health UK/YouGov (2024) survey demonstrated that 50% of charities in the UK were facing significant threat from burnout and that 93% of staff respondents reported they had felt stressed, overwhelmed or burnout in the last year.

This matters. It matters because you matter, your team and your colleagues matter. The work that you do matters.

Aim of the course

Over two half day workshops you will:

· Learn more about the causes, signs, symptoms and experience of burnout based on current research

· Understand the potential impact of burnout on individuals, teams and the charity

· Come away with practical, actionable tools based in neuroscience to support yourself, your colleagues and teams to avoid burnout

The workshops are spaced a week apart to allow you to experiment with some of the tools introduced and share feedback with/learn from the experience of colleagues
