Take Back Your Energy: Practical Steps to Beat Burnout
Burnout isn't just a sign that you're working hard, it's often a signal of systemic pressure, high expectations, and the unique invisible load carried by immigrants and Latinx professionals.
Join SOMOS Latinx in Tech and ALPFA Canada for an interactive virtual workshop designed to help you pause, reset, and re-anchor. Led by Cristina, a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist working from an anti-oppressive lens, this session moves past basic self-care talk into practical, culturally informed tools for emotional and mental sustainability.
Whether you're a student entering the workforce, an early-career professional navigating new spaces, or a mid/senior-level leader balancing constant demands, this space is built for you to reconnect with yourself and your community.
What You Will Learn
Understand Burnout: Identify the early warning signs, hidden stages, and root causes before reaching exhaustion.
Map Your Wellbeing: Pinpoint your unique daily stressors and pinpoint specific practices that genuinely restore your energy.
Actionable Strategies: Learn concrete, everyday tools to prevent, manage, and recover from burnout.
