Burnout happens when someone is mentally, emotionally and physically exhausted. Students may experience burnout when struggling to meet the demands of work and study. It is important for students to recognise the symptoms of burnout and to understand what supportive actions and systems are in place to help them.
Learning Intention
Students will learn to recognise the warning signs of burnout and to propose strategies for managing it.
Key Outcomes
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
- recognise the signs of burnout
- identify what actions they will take (stop, start or continue) to prevent or manage burnout symptoms.
