With more than 50% of BCBA's certified in the last 5 years, it is not surprising that stress, burnout, and compassion fatigue are increasingly a significant challenge. Driven by high work demands, complex caseloads, and insufficient supervisory support, strategies to promote resilience and wellness are critical. This discussion aims to explore the multifaceted nature of burnout, including contributors, impacts, and strategies for mitigation. Drawing from recent research, we will discuss prevalence, highlight gaps in research, and consider practical approaches to promote wellness. This presentation seeks to empower BCBAs to build resilience and maintain high standards of patient care.
