In the past, I have written here about how to take care of yourself during the pandemic. As co-chairs of the mental health committee of the President’s Council for Campus Well-being, Emily Fraizer and I have shared information with the campus-community about surge capacity and how to deal with your surge capacity being challenged.
Today, I want to talk about what happens when these areas of stress continue for a length of time and intensity that they begin to overwhelm. In other words, what is burnout, how can you avoid it, and how can you best deal with it if it happens to you?
