Register for Burnout: Recognizing, Preventing, Mitigating
Burnout is a state of exhaustion that can impact our work, personal lives, health, and overall sense of well-being and purpose. Join us to discuss common causes and symptoms, and learn strategies to recognize, prevent, and manage burnout.
Prior to joining UCSC CAPS in 2001, Audrey Kim, Ph.D., worked in the corporate and nonprofit sectors and understands how burnout can be different and yet similar across various settings. Kim likes helping students gain insight into their problems and learn practical strategies for overcoming them. She especially enjoys working with graduate students and facilitating the Graduate Women’s Group at UCSC.
Nicolette “Niki” Severson, LCSW, has been on the team at CAPS since January 2021. She came to her work as a therapist by way of a background in academia, education, and research in public health and social work. Previous to UCSC, Severson worked with underserved populations in community mental health. She has firsthand experience with burnout from a variety of demanding work environments and is excited to talk about this critical topic.
