Enjoyed the personal sharing as well as the articles on what burnout looked like in the general population across the globe. Thankful also for the PRISM model handout that provides handles on something we can start working on.
The models sum up burn out and self-care in a very simple manner; a lot of times we do know something is wrong but we don't do anything to help ourselves. They are good reminders for especially for social service professionals.
There was good insight on what burnout is and how it affects the different aspects of our lives, and that burn out is not only limited to working population.
James was an engaging speaker who shared openly about his own struggles in the past. He also gave practical yet detailed strategies in managing burnout.
(It provided a good) opportunity for like-minded people to share and learn about their struggling experiences.

I now understand more about burnout and how we need to have more conversations about it, so that all of us can be healthy physically and mentally.

Very informative materials from the speaker. The materials and his sharing of his experience with burnout help us better relate to and understand the content.

Organisational mental well-being is so important and today's session is a great step in breaking the stigma of mental illness.

Its absolutely well designed and it addresses the very important aspects (of burnout). Real life sharing. Very practical and essential for the world we live in now.

The effects of burnout do not just stay at work; it spills over into the family and affects our parenting as well. We are indeed honoured to have been able to bring Cafe Wowee to parents and volunteers from the Pentecost Methodist Church Kindergarten and Pentecost Methodist Church Children Ministry.
Indeed, as the children were treated to Easter celebrations on the level above, parents and volunteers were at the cafe one level down “playing it safe”, as they learned about burnout and how they can protect their loved ones from the negative effects of burnout.
Our sincere thanks to Pentecost Methodist Church for hosting the cafe and to all participants, staff and volunteers who made the event possible.
