Mental health, self-care and burnout: strategies and conversations to help you and your workers

Whilst we know that burnout is multi-factorial and cannot be addressed simply by individual efforts and well-being programs, self-care does provide protection from occupational hazards. It is also an ethical responsibility.

The Physiotherapy Practice Thresholds in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand (2024), describe the ability to "recognise the need for, and implement, appropriate strategies to manage (their) physical and mental health and resilience", as a professional and ethical competency. This webinar presents an overview of well-being and mental health in the workplace and discusses strategies of recognition, prevention and intervention, including the tool of honest and compassionate conversations.
