  • COURSE DESCRIPTION

    This course offers essential strategies for clinicians facing burnout and compassion fatigue, especially when working with clients in divisive social and political climates. Led by Dr. Dain Kloner, an expert in trauma, clinical burnout, and complex case management, the course examines the influence of macro-level socio-political issues on therapists’ well-being and provides practical techniques for self-care, boundary-setting, and fostering resilience. This course explores methods to manage personal biases, avoid over-identification with clients, and maintain therapeutically-focused, ethically-minded care, helping clinicians effectively support clients of similar and differing perspectives while preserving their own mental health.

  • LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    Upon completing this course, participants will be able to: Identify three or more signs of burnout in clinicians and explain how clinician burnout may affect therapeutic effectiveness; Discuss two or more strategies for maintaining neutrality and empathy when working with clients who hold opposing sociopolitical beliefs; Briefly describe the potential impact of the sociopolitical climate in therapy and how it may affect clinical concepts like rapport, ethical care, clinical boundaries, and self-disclosure
