Connections Behavior Planning and Intervention is excited to welcome Dr. Emily Sandoz for a Continuing Education webinar for Behavior Analysts!
Abstract:
Overall, behavioral service providers are at overall high risk of burnout. For behavior analysts, increased societal scrutiny, expanding scope of practice, and conflicts between client needs and financial contingencies have bolstered increased interest in the prevention of and recovery from burnout. Among the needs that the challenge of burnout presents is the need for opportunities to conceptualize and build resilience. This presentation will explore resilience conceptually and experientially in terms of appetitive and aversive functional relations. We will explore (1) aversive functional relations that comprise the experience of suffering, and examine the contexts that function aversively, (2) appetitive functional relations that comprise the experience of thriving, and examine the contexts that function appetitively, and (3) bringing appetitive functions to bear in contexts that currently pull for suffering.
