Consider the length of time employees have worked at your practicum site. Do you notice any signs of unhappiness or discontent with their job? Burnout? Share your observations being careful to use pseudonyms in place of employee names.
Review the readings in this unit and discuss how you can practice self-care to reduce burnout in your internship experience.
