BUrnout is real! I began my career as an SLP, then moved to a district administrator for special services, and now I am an attorney. Decided to get paid commensurate for the level of stress and commitment of working in public schools.

Good content regarding burnout and ways to help prevent and combat burnout. Presenter gave some eye-opening statistics for various healthcare/helping professions regarding burnout rates. Surprised that 90% of SLP's are satisfied with their jobs as this % does not match my 40+ years of experience in the field. Helped me to understand that my depressive symptoms were probably related to my job!

This course spoke about the reality of the workload of SLPs and how it can impact our mental health. This was not my first time listening to a topic of this nature. However, I’m grateful that I watched it because Dr. Flahive provide resources to help with the appraisal of my career in this field.

The person running this presentation sounds like someone who hasn't experienced major burnout. It mostly showed statistics and vague suggestions on how to prevent burnout. We need specific resources and examples!

It didn't really provide practical tools to address the burn-out. It defined it and outlined the severity of the problem-but how does a therapist work through this in the current medical climate?

The presenter's many experiences and knowledge of settings was valuable. His presentation would have been so much better had he made himself vulnerable by giving even one example of how he used honest, perhaps painful, self reflection to change himself to improve a work environment or told a story about how and why he expressed gratitude to a mentor/colleague.

I love that this topic was focused in an open forum. This topic has always been taboo in our profession and as a millennial professional, we can feel that we are not strong and unseen! Addressing this topic is critical in retaining professionals in helping fields.

Overall very good presentation. While positivity and mindfulness are helpful, overall advocacy for working conditions would of course be the best long-term solution. That takes time though, and the immediate need to address burnout is necessary.

To be honest, I was disappointed with this CEU. I felt the sole focus of the preventive measures for burnout was increased awareness. While there is nothing wrong with increased awareness it suggests that burnout stems only at the individual level and can only be fixed at the individual level. He did wisely mention that some things cannot be corporately changed. I understand this and realize that it is why he focused on promoting individual thinking/possibities for change during his CEU. However, it again leaves the impression that burnout is the fault of the individual.

Not many graphics and dry sense of presentation. It would help if the presenter had experienced burnout and worked in the 'trenches". This felt more like a short old school lecture by someone who just looked at data. Not super helpful.

The fact that he was a working professional in this field, and knows what we deal with on a day to day basis. He spoke truth about this topic, and I was happy to know I wasn't the only one who felt "burnout" in this field. He gave great resources as well.

As someone who is struggling with burnout as an SLP, my experiencing of the course went something like this:a. I'm in a definite minority (which is emphasized in the exam)b. If job satisfaction is so very high among SLPs, then why are we even discussing this?c. Now I'm given vague suggestions that I could have frankly gotten from a circular magazine--not suggestions that are really tailored to my field which I think has some very unique challenges

Some of the suggestions seemed a little pat or expected. Exercise, self-talk, find support groups—all end up on the shoulders of the person who is burning out and doesn’t have the motivation any longer. These solutions need to happen before burnout starts.
