Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. It occurs when you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to meet constant demands. As the stress continues, you begin to lose the interest and motivation that led you to take on a certain role in the first place.

 Now is the time to pause and change direction by learning how you can help yourself overcome burnout and feel healthy and positive again by dropping by our table and learning how you can fill your own cup and learn how to prevent or cope with burnout! 

Join staff from Student Health & Wellness outside the Main Cafeteria on February 26th between 10am and 12pm to learn more about tackling burnout.
