The Office of Mental Health’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion wanted to share information about an important upcoming SAMHSA-funded webinar training series. SAMHSA recognizes that front line staff, especially those providing behavioral health services, also need support to address their personal and professional experiences with COVID-19. The overall theme of the trainings is professional self-care. Through these trainings, staff will have the opportunity to master self-care skills, share experiences and process their fears, concerns and anxieties as they provide care during a pandemic. Between January and August of 2021, staff will have the option to select from a large menu of training options to support their wellbeing. The second month of trainings is listed here. We hope that you and your staff take advantage of this incredible opportunity to deepen your/their own self-care practices.

Burnout in its many forms is probably one of the more important factors affecting quality of work experience for individuals in all positions. Knowing what contributes to workplace burnout aside from stress and realizing how to prevent it goes a long way in building everyone’s resiliency in coping with the unending challenges that the pandemic has brought forth. It is not just about being prepared. It is among other things about how to manage and cope/deal with difficult situations where many times we feel it is beyond one’s control.
