Join ANCOR Diamond Partner Relias to learn more about the importance of promoting mental and physical health among DSPs.

The work of direct support professionals (DSPs) and others working in intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) services can be difficult, which can lead to burnout. Organizations need to be aware of how their staff members care for their mental and physical health to ensure that they provide the best care possible for the people they serve.

In this webinar, participants will learn: 

  • How burnout affects I/DD services
  • The difference between compassion fatigue and burnout
  • How to recognize the signs and symptoms of burnout
  • How to address burnout and support a strong team
  • Tips for preventing burnout and generating wellness
