Stress, Burnout, and Mental Health: Taking Care of Yourself During the Busy Seasons of Life

​This facilitated discussion is designed for individuals navigating stress, burnout, and ongoing mental health challenges in today’s fast-paced environment. The session offers a supportive, non-clinical space to pause, reflect, and connect with others who may be experiencing similar pressures related to work, daily demands, and competing responsibilities.

​Participants will be guided through a structured conversation focused on recognizing early signs of burnout, understanding how chronic busyness can impact mood and motivation, and identifying practical ways to protect and support mental well-being. The first 20 minutes will provide education on how stress and mood show up in everyday functioning, including in the workplace. This will be followed by a brief guided reflection exercise, and then an open discussion where participants can explore their current experiences with stress and burnout, as well as share and learn practical strategies for coping.

​Attendees are encouraged to engage at their own comfort level, whether by listening or contributing. The goal is for participants to leave with greater clarity, a sense of normalization around common struggles, and accessible tools they can apply in their daily lives.
