Burnout Recovery: Unlocking the Stress Cycle – Skills and Conversations
Burnout Recovery: Unlocking the Stress Cycle – Skills and Conversations (Pastors only)
The key to recovering from burnout is to unlock the stress cycle. Learn how to do just that! We’ll explore what burnout feels and looks like in a pastoral setting. You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of where you are on the burnout scale, as well as skills and tools to use to clear the stress, and a plan to unlock your personal stress cycle going forward.

Mental Health and the Church
Mental Health and the Church
Conversations around faith and mental health tend to stay in their own lanes; often parallel tracks of dialogue that have historically been antithetical and avoided. However, we know that faith leaders are often at the front lines when it comes to recognizing signs, symptoms and needs of the people we that we care for. In this talk, we will identify current mental health trends, as we take a close look at the intersectionality between faith and mental health. We will also identify practical ways to offer support for others, while also tending to our own mental health and wellness.
Facilitated by Jamie Baxter, Director of Counseling Services, Xavier University
