Our Executive Director, Pennie Beauchamp, speaking at Dallas Health and Human Services last week. We were honored to be invited to talk about workplace wellness, burnout, and some differences between burnout and depression. We discussed tools for managing stress, empowering each other to speak up when burnout is in sight, and how that all applies to both organizational leaders as well as employees. Another great day and opportunity to serve our community for which we are so grateful!
