About
Brought to you by the Hendricks County Community Foundation, this half day workshop explores self-care for nonprofit professionals.

An organization’s work may be mission-based, but its people are mission critical.  And if you are burned out, you can’t serve your stakeholders or deliver your nonprofit’s mission or even succeed in your career.  Nonprofits are operating in a climate of uncertainty and limited resources which requires resilience  for high performance.

The passion that nonprofit professionals feel for their work is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, that fervor helps them keep going in the face of difficult challenges. On the other hand, they can be so driven they don’t stop to refuel or smell the proverbial roses or even notice they are experiencing symptoms of burnout.  This interactive workshop is based on her new book, The Happy Healthy Nonprofit: Strategies for Impact without Burnout

Learning Objectives

Take a self-assessment to determine burnout symptoms and opportunities to create self-care habits
Discuss and share tips and methods for self-care activities that go beyond physical health
Make a commitment to implementing one small self-care activity post workshop
