Many of us support others in our roles at UBC, whether by providing guidance to students, offering frontline services, or managing faculty and staff as a leader. The demands of these roles, in conjunction with administrative and other work responsibilities, can make us vulnerable to compassion fatigue and burnout.
Compassion fatigue refers to the emotional and physical exhaustion that can result from caring for others. Burnout is the broader experience of chronic workplace stress characterized by emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and a reduced sense of personal accomplishment.
This one-hour workshop will equip participants with practical tools for identifying and addressing signs and symptoms of compassion fatigue and burnout in the workplace.

The prospect of talking to young people about sex and sexual health can be a difficult one, often made more challenging by a lack of knowledge, personal discomfort, or shame around the topic. The good news is that these conversations don’t need to be feared or avoided.
If you are a parent, guardian, or an askable adult (This could be someone like an aunt/uncle, family friend, mentor or teacher – anyone who wants to feel prepared to have these conversations with the kids in their life that they support/love/care for.), the Workplace Wellbeing team has got you covered for timely information on this sensitive subject, including age-appropriate knowledge, and fantastic resources.
