Community Conversation on Burnout
March 12, 2021 - 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM ET
We invite you to a community conversation about feelings of burnout within the MSW program. We have heard from some students that they are experiencing higher levels of stress and feelings of burnout. This is a time for conversation - ask questions, raise concerns, and talk together as a school community. To aid the conversation, space will be limited. (We know it's coming up soon, so if you miss it, don't fear! If there is a lot of interest in this topic, we can hold another session soon.)
About the FormatA few students and faculty have decided to try something different - smaller community conversations. Our hope is that this can take topics that lend themselves better to verbal dialogue off of email and into a face-to-face (or screen-to-screen!) environment. We will draw heavily on practices from intergroup dialogue and restorative justice
