Don't Burn Out! Practitioner Session

Welcome to Don’t Burn Out — a webinar on burnout management and prevention, designed especially for Autistic, AuDHD, chronically ill, and disabled practitioners.

What will we cover?
This webinar is specifically geared toward Autistic, AuDHD, chronically ill, and disabled practitioners working in allied health, medical / healthcare, peer worker, and support worker roles. It's for anyone wanting to protect against burnout, and work in ways that are meaningful, fulfilling, accessible, and sustainable.

We'll go beyond the basics, and explore things from a nuanced, neuro-affirming, anti-ableist, person-centred framework. Resources will also be provided to all attendees post-webinar!

Key topics will include:

• Understanding why we burn out (from a multifaceted, individualised lens)

• Identifying our needs

• Working with our brains and bodies (not against them)

• Creating sustainable set-ups, structures, systems, and supports

• Protecting capacity and preserving spoons

• Burnout response, management, and recovery

• Reflective practices and self-check-in strategies

• Unlearning neuronormative and ableist pressures

• Practical tools, plans, and resources

What will I take away from it?

By the end of this webinar, you’ll have:

• Clarity on why burnout happens differently for us, and what characterises it for you

• Strategies to work in ways that recognise and support your needs

• Consent form wording, client communication scripts, and other resources to support boundaries / balance

• Tools for pacing, burnout management, emergency planning, and capacity tracking

• Greater confidence in your wants, needs, and decisions

• Reflection prompts to reconnect with what’s meaningful for you

• And more!

There will also be an optional follow-up group supervision session, held on 29/08/2025 at 10am-11:30am AEST, for folks who would like to further discuss what we cover in the webinar. This can be signed up for separately via this link. Please note that spots are limited, and session cost listed includes GST.

Zoom links and recording access

You will be able to access the workshop via a Zoom link. This will be sent to you the day before, and on the day of, the workshop.

If you are unable to attend at the scheduled time, please note that the workshop will be recorded by Lumen. Ticket holders will have access to this recording for 30 days after the event ends; you will receive this link via email, so that you can watch / review it at a time that suits you (more info on this below). Please do not distribute or forward the link / recording to others. Thank you!

Accessibility

You are welcome to turn on closed captions during the workshop. The recording will be available to all ticket-holders post-event.

There is no expectation to have your cameras on, or to contribute, during the workshop; doing so is optional.

I completely understand if you cannot attend live, and can only watch/listen to the recording, due to capacity reasons or other commitments. I also understand if you need to leave the live session partway through, and catch up on the rest via the recording, due to changes in capacity or other commitments.

If you are not able to watch/listen to the recording within the 30 days post-event, due to capacity, chronic illness, disability, or an unexpected life event, please feel welcome to email me and I'll happily extend access duration for you.

I looking forward to having you there!
