Time:  4:00-5:30 pm Eastern

Topic: Burnout is not simply about excessive workload. A variety of stressors may lead us down the road to exhaustion, negativism, and inefficacy, which are core symptoms of burnout.  It should be taken seriously, otherwise it will be detrimental to functioning and wellbeing, short-term, as well as long-term.  In this talk, Dr. Bergland will discuss what burnout is, what causes it, and how to manage and prevent it.

Featured Presenters:
Dr. Torben Bergland, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, Health Ministries
Evelyn Sullivan, North American Division, Education
