She delivered a presentation titled “Burnout and Balance: Prioritizing Mental Health,” where she asserted the importance of maintaining balance to counter stress and burnout, especially in academic settings.
She centered her presentation around ‘burnout, ' which she mentioned as chronic stress. “This is the result of prolonged, unmanaged chronic stress in a person who does not have the coping tools they need. The risks include excessive working hours, institutional dysfunction, lack of efficacy and control, inadequate incentives, and a particularly stressful workplace,” she explained.
