Hope Leads Mental Health Care was built on the foundations of friendship and community care. Its founders have extensive experience providing mental health services, with particular focus on underserved communities in primary care and community settings. Our practice philosophy commits to empowering BIPOC and queer communities. We attend to intersectional barriers to wellness in order to foster inclusive spaces where those who have been excluded can share stories without judgment. We believe in hope’s potential to encourage intentional actions and to center the self in our reflections.

Burnout is a spectrum. To many it can be debilitating and to some they may be dealing with a less severe version of it. Those in helping professions (teachers, nurses, doctors, customer service workers, social workers, etc.) are some of the common groups impacted by burnout. COMMON SYMPTOMS OF BURNOUT: * EXHAUSTION Increased stress, feeling fatigue or low energy. It can be an emotional exhaustion that mimics depressive symptoms. It is compassion fatigue for caregivers or those in helping professions. * CYNICISM Depersonalization and disengagement at work; your empathy, compassion and care starts to dwindle. Increased gap between work ideals and reality. Having negative views on all areas of your work. * FEELING OF INEFFECTIVENESS Feelings of uselessness and no sense that you are helping. Having thoughts like “nothing I do matters!” It can look like overextending to prove you are indespensible. Seeking mental health support can be helpful in preventing burnout. If you think you are already experiencing burnout, talking to a psychotherapist is one of the ways you can manage and cope with the negative impacts of burnout in your daily life. If you need help in learning some coping strategies with workplace or caregiver burnout, reach out to any of us. We are here to support! Book now: https://lnkd.in/g5TUFAuZ
