Course Overview

What this course is designed to develop

Burnout is not simply exhaustion — it is a chronic syndrome of emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation, and reduced personal accomplishment, first formalised by Christina Maslach in 1981. This course walks you through evidence-based assessment, energy-drain auditing, and a phased recovery framework drawn from occupational health research. By the end you will have a written, personalised recovery plan ready to implement this week.
