Tips for Provider Burn Out

Traditional theories teach us that burnout is caused by working too many hours or enduring too much stress, but that's a gross oversimplification of the matter.

Sure, but it's a start.

Knowing you're not alone and having access to others going through similar things is a pretty big relief for those so isolated.

Taking a break for 30 days

After 15 years in DC, I have developed an injury to my arm from repetitive lifting. In lieu of my annual summer vacation, I wanted to take 30 days off to rest and heal. How does this work with Community Care Lic in Ca. Pending 2 newborns when I return.

I’d suggest talking with her and maybe sharing some duties with her. Talk with her and explain that though you are the lead you would like her input. Maybe let her plan a few activities or do chores that you really don’t like. I’ve had bossy and negative assistants before and it is frustrating.
