Course Outline:

The demands of working in education, and particularly within boarding, can make it challenging to maintain a healthy balance between professional responsibilities and personal wellbeing. School leaders and staff are often balancing the needs of pupils, parents, colleagues and the wider school community, leaving little time to recognise or address the early signs of burnout.

This practical webinar explores the causes and impact of burnout, helping delegates to identify the warning signs in themselves and others before they become overwhelming. Through evidence-informed guidance and realistic strategies, participants will develop practical approaches to protecting their own wellbeing, managing competing priorities and creating sustainable ways of working.

Designed for school leaders, pastoral teams, boarding staff and those with leadership responsibilities, the session focuses on achievable techniques that can be implemented in busy school environments to improve resilience, reduce stress and support long-term wellbeing.

Learning outcomes:

By the end of this webinar, delegates will be able to:

• Recognise the common causes and early warning signs of burnout.
• Understand the impact of chronic stress on personal wellbeing and professional performance.
• Apply realistic self-care strategies that can be incorporated into busy working lives.
