To support your nonprofit staff in managing overwhelm and preventing burnout, consider implementing structured #boundaries around work hours and communication. Encourage regular breaks and promote a clear separation between work and personal life. Offer #workshops on stress management and time management techniques. Engage staff in setting realistic goals and prioritizing #tasks collectively. Foster an open dialogue about workload concerns, establishing a supportive community. Freud emphasized the importance of balancing demands on our psyche. In his view, understanding the unconscious can help mitigate stress and burnout. #NonprofitHealth #BurnoutPrevention #WorkLifeBalance #MentalWellness
