The Bottom Line of Burnout

2020-09-10T10:30:40-04:00September 13th, 2020|Events|

Nonprofit Montgomery, EveryMind, and 20 Degrees are partnering to explore an important and timely topic: burnout. We invite Executive Directors, CEOs, and other organizational leaders to join us on October 7.

The pressure endured by leaders in nonprofits is unprecedented. Balancing uncertainty, staffing, and complex programming needs is taking its toll on leaders. According to a CDC report, over 40% of people have reported their mental health being adversely impacted, with substance abuse and suicidal thoughts on the rise.

Join us for a practical, honest conversation about the bottom line cost of burnout, along with the insights on how to actually integrate best practices in your organization in a way that is affordable and possible.

Our conversation will look at burnout and consider mental health through two lenses:

  • Budget implications and opportunities
  • Organizational best practices that support staff well-being

The goals of the session:

  • Make a financial case based on your budget to justify prioritizing mental health of yourself and your team that can be shared internally or with select funders
  • Highlight best practices for responding to burnout
  • Discuss the warning signs of burnout
  • Create a safe, community conversation for Executive Directors/CEOs
  • Highlight additional wellness resources for leaders

When: October 7, 9:30-11:00am
Where: Zoom
