BURN OUT

ONE IF THE BIGGEST OBSTACLES FACED BY HUMAN SERVICE

PROVIDERS IS THE POSSIBILITY OF BURN OUT

BURNOUT OCCURS WHEN A PROFESSIONAL REACHES A POINT OF

OVERWHELMING FRUSTRATION AT THE JOB.

THIS CAN BE A RESULT OF A NUMBER OF FACTORS BUT ONE OF

THE BIGGEST CAUSES OF BURN OUT IS INNAPROPRIATE SELF
CARE.

TO PREVENT BURN OUT PROVIDERS MUST ENSURE THAT THEY

PRACTICE ADEQUATE SELF CARE.

WHAT IS SELF CARE?

Self care includes any intentional actions you take to care for your
physical, mental and emotional health.
Self care is essential to the physical, mental and emotional well
being of the professional.
Without proper self care the chances of employee burn out increase
dramatically.

EXAMPLES OF SELF CARE

EXERCISE

ADEQUATE SLEEP

RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES

SPIRITUAL MAINTENANCE

THE HEALTH KEEPERZ BRAND

At healthkeeperz we have a ton of devoted and committed staff

who will often set their personal needs and agendas aside for the
well being of our clients.

While providing excellent service is our primary goal it is equally

important to us that our staff are able to manage their own lives
effectively.

It takes a joint effort on the part of the agency and the individual
to ensure that care giver burnout does not occur and we do
everything in our power to ensure the comfort of all parties
involved.
