However, there are several protective factors supported in the literature to mitigate burnout (e.g., job crafting, ACT, social support). The purpose of this presentation is to define and discuss these protective factors to disseminate behavior-analytic research focused on individual wellness. The presentation will conclude with actionable steps to learn more about implementing these protective factors into one's current environment.
