Are you feeling work stress or burnout? We can help! Join our new support group to recognise common signs and overcome them.
We are excited to announce a pilot of our first online Burnout Group starting in February 2023. The NHS Staff Survey 2021 results indicate that NHS staff are experiencing high levels of burnout.
The sessions will promote positive wellbeing via psychological techniques, reflective exercises and group discussions, led by Keeping Well’s CBT Therapists.
The group is now at full capacity, If you are interested in joining a future group or would like to talk about alternative options please get in touch with us by emailing keepingwell.nwl@nhs.net or complete the self-referral form and select option 'Join a Burnout Group for work stress'.
While burnout includes many of the same symptoms as stress, there are three specific feelings that differentiate burnout:
- Feeling tired or exhausted
- A lack of enthusiasm and increased negativity towards your job
- Decreased ability to perform your job
Often, burnout results in depressive symptoms, such as sadness or a lack of hope. But it can also contribute to a wide range of negative emotions and even physical symptoms, such as:
- Frustration or anger
- Irritability or annoyance
- Anxiety, agitation, or restlessness
- Physical feelings of stress, such as headaches, stomach issues, body pains, or fatigue
