This workshop explores burnout in a way you might not have thought of before, alongside advocacy, paternalism, and how concern can sometimes cross a line into risk management and control. It creates space for open discussions through solutions, compassion, practical tools, and community. This is not about blame or shame. It is about honesty, sustainability, and finding a way forward together.
