Thriving, Not Just Surviving: Neuro-Affirming Strategies for Burnout Prevention & Recovery

Join us for a special presentation brought to you by the ANS Cares Committee, Young Members Group, and Education, Training, and Workforce Development Division.

For many neurodivergent professionals, burnout isn't just about workload, it’s the logical outcome of navigating a world designed for neurotypical people. This workshop reframes burnout through a neuro-affirming lens in order to accurately identify root causes, including sensory overwhelm and masking. Participants will learn to identify early warning signs and develop personalized strategies to protect their energy. We will conclude by looking beyond individual "self-care" to the systemic changes—such as flexible scheduling and sensory-friendly environments—that create a healthier, more sustainable workplace for every employee.
