Do your CAMHS team members know the difference between stress and burnout?

Stress says "I need a break." Burnout says "I need to escape."

While stress is characterised by over-engagement and responds to rest, burnout involves emotional detachment and requires systemic change to address.

Our infographic highlights the crucial differences every CAMHS manager should know, because identifying burnout early could save your best staff from walking away.

Prevention starts with recognition. 👇

Learn how interoception-affirming responses support early communication, body knowledge, and AAC readiness.

A must-read for anyone supporting toddlers, preschoolers, and non-speaking children. Read more for FREE here: https://www.kelly-mahler.com/resources/blog/interoception-early-communication-in-preschoolers-and-non-speaking-children/
