K1 – Beyond Burnout: The Ethical Responsibility of Counselor Work Environments

Burnout among counselors is often framed as an individual concern, placing responsibility on clinicians to cope rather than on systems to change. Drawing on dissertation findings and relevant literature, this session reframes counselor wellbeing as an ethical and professional responsibility shaped by work environments. Attendees will explore how organizational conditions influence quality of life, counselor voice, and sustainability, and identify actionable strategies to support vitality in practice.
