Burnout Happens: Let’s Talk About It (Neurodivergent Edition)
Virtual Event
October 14 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Join Aziz and Sawah in a workshop and discussion on navigating neurodivergent burnout. Drawing on both professional knowledge and lived neurodivergent experience, we will explore affirming prevention strategies, ways to slow/mitigate its progression, and methods for navigating when you’re deep in burnout. The workshop will be a blend of psychoeducation, practical tools/skills, and resources, as well as a space for open discussion and questions. Psychoeducation will highlight the impact, the differences between ND burnout and non-ND burnout, and early indicators; all grounded in both research and real-life insights.
We aim for a relaxed and affirming space, so feel free to bring items/objects to aid in focus, any questions you might have, and get comfy while we get nerdy (and real) about ND burnout.
This workshop is for neurodivergent individuals seeking support in understanding and navigating burnout in a more informed and personally meaningful way, with the validation of knowing you’re learning from people who’ve been there too.
