ALLEVIATE BURNOUT & REVIVE ACADEMIC ENERGY

The mental and emotional workload of graduate school (including TAships, part-time jobs, family care responsibilities, etc.) can easily invite burnout, especially as winter season is ending.

This workshop will look at:

• the physiological function of stress and why academic stress can be maladaptive
• impacts of stress and burnout on academic performance and well-being
• a somatic (embodiment) psychology view of stress, to point to simple, practical interventions 
• what self-care actually means (from a behavioural learning perspective)
• self-value/self-theory, and the importance of "spirit" (inspiration, motivation, self-care) for sustained academic performance over the long haul
