Young Professional Programme (YPP): Developing Skills and Burnout Proofing
The Young Professional Programme (YPP) was
created by African psychologists to empower young professionals with the mental
health skills needed to thrive in their lives and careers.
The YPP consists of the following five
modules:
- Building Self-Esteem Beyond Performance and
Dispelling the “Imposter Voice”
- Developing Interpersonal Effectiveness Skills
- Racial Identity Development: Managing Diversity
and Inclusion
- Developing Resilience as a Core Muscle to Succeed
- Developing Integration Skills to Avoid
Burnout
The Developing Skills and
Burnout-Proofing module of the YPP provides tools and techniques that
prevent participants from feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained and unable
to meet constant demands.
After completing the workshop participants
will:
- Be able to identify the signs and symptoms of
“burnout” (a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by
excessive and prolonged stress) and why they may or may not be at risk.
- Be able to build a system that integrates their
work, home and social life, in a way to help them avoid burnout.
- Be equipped to create practical workplace
strategies on how to avoid reaching a point of burnout.
- Learn how to use the relationship with the self
and others as a key to alleviating burnout.
- Learn how to implement self-care strategies to
alleviate stress.
