On the 22nd of November, a methodical meeting of Klaipeda city psychologists was held in Klaipėda “Vėtrungė” gymnasium, in which we sought to find out whether psychologists working in schools feel the signs of professional burnout, whether there is enough time for rest.

Psychologist Renata Baltrimienė introduced the topic: Teacher burnout, overcoming it. Possibilities of using therapies” (possibilities of the Erasmus+ project “Boost yourself”.

City psychologists shared their ideas and experiences about burnout-management methods such us: Art Therapy, Guided Imagery, Transcendental Meditation, Canistherapy and Mindfulness. 

Most of the participants agreed that raising awareness about the issue and how to deal with it, presenting various methods how to reduce anxiety and the level of burnout would be a great contribution to a healthier and happier life of teachers and students.
