Recorded: Supervising Through Burnout: A Behavior-Analytic Guide

**This course will provide the participant with 1.5 Supervision Learning Type BACB® CEU**

Description of Supervision Learning Type CE Event: Want to be a better supervisor? This course utilizes the Job Demands–Resources (JD-R) framework to help supervisors identify controllable variables that influence staff burnout. It emphasizes actionable, evidence-based practices that supervisors can implement to reduce work demands and increase professional resources.

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.

Target Audience:BCBAs, BCaBAs, and clinical directors who supervise RBTs or other behavior analysts

Learning Objectives for Participants: This course will prepare participants to supervise with compassion and behavior analysis, conduct self-reflection, build trust, and both take and receive feedback.

1. Define burnout and its three dimensions (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization/cynicism, reduced personal accomplishment) and describe its prevalence among behavior analysts.
2. Describe burnout through a behavioral/OBM lens using the Job Demands–Resources (JD-R) framework.
3. Identify the supervisor-controllable variables that research links to increased vs. decreased staff burnout.
4. Apply at least four behavior-analytic supervision practices to reduce demands and increase resources for supervisees.
5. Evaluate when staff distress falls outside a supervisor's scope of competence and requires referral.
