Last month, we discussed self-advocacy in work and personal life settings. We explored boundaries and how to set them – but we soon realized that a lot of us were already experiencing the effects of broken boundaries: Burnout.

A recent study found that >70% of surveyed graduate trainees were reporting moderate to severe symptoms of burnout. Is that surprising to you?

While learning that fact might not surprise us, we are left with the question: So what do we do about it?

Join us in this month’s Power Hour as we create space for you to de-stress in a safe environment, then learn skills that you can take back into your personal and academic life to overcome burnout and prevent it from happening in the future.

Lunch provided!
