Nurturing Instructor Well-Being

Are you looking for some revitalization? Instructors of all types face many challenges and pressures that can lead to burnout and decreased well-being. This two-part workshop is designed to empower instructors with the knowledge and tools necessary to recognize the signs of burnout, understand the importance of various types of rest, and create a personalized plan for achieving greater well-being and vitality.

Bring your lunch and join colleagues for some nourishing and thoughtful discussion. We’ll provide coffee, tea, and dessert! Note that space is limited for each session. 

You can join an individual session, though participation in both sessions will likely yield maximum benefits.

Program Outcomes

Participants engaging with both parts of this workshop will:

  • Identify ways to address burnout and support vitality.
  • Articulate at least three types of rest that apply to your life situation.
  • Develop a tentative strategy for adding periods of rest within your life.
