Feeling the Strain?

Professor Volkova is a senior lecturer at the Institute of Social Science and Mass Communication. Dr Svishcheva heads the Social Projects Laboratory at the same Institute. 55 psychologists and teachers from kindergartens across the city attended the seminar, which was called, 'The Prevention of Emotional Burnout for Teacher-Psychologists in Preschool Educational Organisations'. The training program included getting to know the basic concepts and symptoms of emotional burnout, and a guide to the various methods of regulating one's emotional state. They also touched on conflict resolution in the workplace. Early recognition of burnout, and better ways of resolving problems arising from this, have a knock-on effect on the children in your care, and contribute to general well-being.
