Educator Resilience Programmes
SACE – Accredited Online Workshops and E-Learning Programme
Rebuild Your Resilience E-Learning Programme (15 CPD points)
We are all inherently resilient; we have an innate ability to bounce back, to recover from hardship or adversity, to adapt appropriately to challenging circumstances.
But when we stretch ourselves too far and too often we risk losing all our strength and elasticity – and if we push ourselves even further then we may snap. This loss of the ability to bounce back – and that snap – is Burnout. When we push ourselves to the point of exhaustion, overwhelm and strengthlessness (which is definitely not the same as weakness), we have pushed ourselves into Burnout.
Burnout is a complex condition and getting to the bottom of it requires a level of energy and motivation that most people don’t have while in the grips of the overwhelm. This programme aims to strengthen professional commitment and attitude of educators by helping them understand burnout and compassion fatigue and presents easy and powerful tools to regain their resilience.
Understanding and Managing Compassion Fatigue 3-Hour Online Workshop (5 CPD points)
Compassion Fatigue is sometimes described as “the cost of caring”. Anyone who is in a profession that takes care of other people and is exposed to their emotional, physical or mental suffering – either continuously or repeatedly – is at risk of developing Compassion Fatigue. Educators are at even more risk because they have the multiple burdens of having to support the learners in their care, as well as the parents and caregivers of the learners, their fellow educators and their own families and communities.
Left unaddressed, Compassion Fatigue can progress into Burnout which brings with it a number of career and even life-limiting conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and depression. This workshop is designed to help participants to understand, recognise and manage compassion fatigue through providing information and practical, simple self-care and self-management tools.
