Research output: Contribution to conference › Presentation

Abstract

 Counseling is an intense profession that often leads to burnout. Current research primarily addresses reactive approaches to remediating counsel or burnout, with little to say about preventative strategies. However,
 research from related fields on the concept of grit shows promise as a potential protective factor against
 burnout. This poster will bring to bear this body of grit literature  on counselor burnout, as well as  describe and demonstrate grit-building exercises for both professionals and students.
