Supervision as a Burnout Prevention Strategy

Students have it rough. Between graduate school, collecting supervision hours, working, and general life, they have additional stressors that we have no influence over as supervisors. However, we do have autonomy and flexibility inside of the supervision experiences we create. Additionally, we know that one of the leading indicators of increased burnout among behavior analysts is a lack of supervision and support. In this talk, Dr. Shane T. Spiker will discuss how we can build strategies for burnout prevention and teach necessary self-care strategies for our future behavior analysts.

Learning Objectives:

• Participants will identify flexible components of supervisory practices within BACB^® guidelines
• Participants will discuss outcomes related to burnout prevention and prolonged burnout experiences
• Participants will individualize supervision practices to account for burnout prevention strategies
