💙 Many faculty and staff across higher education are carrying an incredible amount right now, and conversations about burnout are more important than ever.

That’s why AHEAD selected burnout as a session topic at this year’s Conference.

We know burnout and low morale are not simply personal problems that can be fixed by “trying harder” or practicing better self-care alone. Burnout is a systemic issue that deserves thoughtful, holistic solutions.

This year’s presenters will share perspectives and strategies focused on creating healthier workplaces, strengthening support among colleagues, and helping professionals reconnect with the passion that first brought them into higher education and disability work.

Whether you work in teaching, advising, disability services, administration, student support, or campus leadership, these sessions offer valuable insight and encouragement for navigating today’s especially stressful environment together.

Join us for these meaningful conversations and leave inspired with new ideas to support both yourself and your colleagues. ✨
