CONTEXTS & CONSIDERATIONS •¡ Take a proactive approach to preventing burnout; •¡ Balance service providers’ caseloads; •¡ Provide access to ongoing supervision, education, training, retreats, and individual/ group therapy; •¡ Promote a culture of self-care for individuals and teams (including a self-care room); •¡ Invest in staff well-being and ensure adequate safety measures are in place; •¡ Demonstrate appreciation of staff; •¡ Promote forums for staff participation and incorporate staff feedback and suggestions for organizational improvements; •¡ Support a psychologically healthy workplace (e.g., employee orientation, training, recognition, inclusivity, flexibility, effective communication); •¡ Provide adequate salaries, physical and mental health insurance, and time off (including “mental health days”); •¡ Promote a culture that celebrates achievements, withholds judgement, gives the benefit of the doubt, emphasizes the positive, and softens the negative; •¡ Cultivate a sense of meaning and purpose among service providers in support of the agency’s mission to serve youth; and •¡ Develop external professional connections, including partnerships with other agencies to foster a sense of collective purpose toward a common service goal. Adequate funding and staff resources can be a constant struggle and source of stress and frustration. An implementation team is necessary to promote a sustainable intervention and the organization’s change process in a timely, goal-oriented manner (Fixsen, Blase, Duda, & Brown, 2012; Fixsen, Naoom, Blase, Friedman, & Wallace, 2005). The agency might consider joining or starting a network of organizations working toward the same goal to collaborate and leverage resources the agency may not have (e.g., a more integrated referral system). Often, finding a creative solution to limited resources requires shifting direction or taking risks, which may recharge the workplace with a renewed sense of hope and vitality (Richardson, 2001). 183
MENTAL HEALTH & ADDICTION INTERVENTIONS FOR YOUTH EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS: PRACTICAL STRATEGIES FOR FRONT-LINE PROVIDERS KEY MESSAGES FOR PRACTITIONERS •¡ Many strategies and tools are available to prevent burnout among service providers, so select the ones that resonate most with you and your agency. Start small and be concrete with your SMART goals and strategies. •¡ Self-care is possible using cognitive, emotional, and behavioural tools. These include mindfulness for attention, emotion, and behaviour regulation; cognitive-behavioural strategies for changing thinking and actions; and solution-focused strategies to develop an action plan to get where you want to go. Unless you have a path to your destination, it will be difficult to know when you have arrived. •¡ Identify and use internal and external resources, including champions and opinion leaders, to increase awareness of the need for burnout prevention strategies, mental health promotion, and treatment for service providers. •¡ Whenever possible, integrate self-care, stress reduction, and mental health supports into the culture and fabric of your organization. Get your organization on board and build your implementation team. If this is not possible, form a collective. Collectives provide support, solidarity, and a voice for change.
