Feelings of professional burnout are rampant in the American workforce these days. The past two years have pushed us to our limits, challenged our spirits, and prompted questions about our chosen careers (“Is it worth it?”). These feelings are amplified within the public health field, where workers have been badgered, belittled, and threatened just for doing their jobs. To help you cope, the Stay Well program at the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) invites you to BEYOND BURNOUT, a series of short workshops (15 minutes of teaching followed by discussion and debriefing). These sessions will explain why your reactions to pandemic related stress are perfectly normal and offer practical strategies for improving your mental wellness as we turn another corner in the COVID-19 pandemic. Register for the workshop series that best fits your job description:
