** This course will provide the participant with 1 BACB® PDU Credit**
Description of PD Event: Are you running on empty? Tossing around the term "burnout" or feeling "burnt out"? This PDU is just for you! This presentation reframes burnout as a result of environmental and behavioral factors—such as high demands and lack of reinforcement—rather than a personal failing, and provides actionable tools to help staff maintain their well-being and quality of service.
About the Instructor: What’s up y’all! It’s me, Nicole from the SNABA fam! I bring to your courses over 10 years of experience from a variety of settings including in homes, in clinics, and in schools. My experience across all things SNABA provides learners with an in-depth application of the science of behavior. I am in all settings an educator, taking pride in a gentle approach to learning, allowing the learner to navigate their learning experience, and develop critical thinking and autonomy (for both children and adult learners). I continue to teach undergraduate psychology courses at SNHU as an adjunct professor while pursuing my doctoral degree. My passion is sharing the benefits of science with everyone.
