Self-Care and Burnout:  Centering Intersecting Identities as Contributing Factors
Burnout, as a potential experience for clinicians, educators, and researchers is often influenced by the nature of the work that psychologists and counselors do, and compounded by supports available, sociocultural climate, demands placed within their settings, and a number of other variables (Warlick et al., 2020). Since March of 2020, the global COVID-19 pandemic has upended the delicate balance of many family and employment systems, and disproportionately challenged clinicians, researchers, supervisors, and educators who hold minoritized identities or have traditionally managed role strain. It is estimated that 70% of global healthcare and first responders are womxn (UN Women, 2020), necessitating creative plans for securing childcare (Kashen et al., 2020; UN Women, 2020), while navigating pay disparities and cuts to healthcare benefits (Furlow, 2020), for example. 

The added stressors over the past 2-3 years has greatly exacerbated the need for work around mental health, and heavily taxed professionals in the field who are, themselves, managing identity and role strain, with greater isolation away from support systems. In addition to managing the financial, logistical, and emotional needs of themselves and family/community members, the rise of White nationalist propaganda, and legislation aimed at stripping protections for minoritized groups all meaningfully influence the positionality of professionals in the field. This program will explore the ways in which clinicians, supervisors, and educators can engage in view clients through a cultural lens (Sehghal et al., 2011) and manage their own level of stress through discussion, case studies, and personal reflection.
    
Learning Objectives
By completing this program, participants will able to:
1.    Analyze and discuss levels of burnout across settings (e.g., research, supervision, applied clinical work, teaching).
2.    Examine and conceptualize ways in which minoritized identities and role strain contribute to the development and maintenance of burnout.
3.    Discuss at least 3 ways in which feminist and liberatory frameworks can be utilized to buffer against burnout.
