Reaching the Fabulous Zone: Beating Burnout Together
Date & Time Jan 21, 2025 12:00 PM Vancouver
Description: Join Vikki for an insightful webinar that delves into the nuances of vicarious trauma and burnout, exploring how the spiritual and ethical challenges of our work impact our well-being and our ability to uphold dignity and social justice for our clients. We’ll differentiate Collective Care from traditional self-care, emphasizing the importance of community support in our resilience journey. Together, we’ll examine the power of hope and challenge the patronizing self-care advice often given to workers. This session will provide a client-centered approach to resisting burnout, advocating for compassionate treatment of ourselves and our colleagues. By the end, participants will be inspired to step into The Zone of Fabulousness, a state of fulfillment and resilience in their professional lives.
Learning Outcomes:
- Distinguish between vicarious trauma and burnout, including associated spiritual and ethical pain.
- Understand Collective Care and its role in preventing workplace burnout.
- Explore hope’s significance and ways to nurture a positive outlook.
- Develop client-centered strategies to resist burnout through compassionate care.
- Discover practical tools to achieve fulfillment in ‘The Zone of Fabulousness’

Sustainability and Collective Care responding to Grief, Loss and Tragic Deaths
November 13
Vikki will lay some groundwork for understanding responses to loss and hardship in our work from a place that holds the dignity and respect for workers and our participants. This will require we look at the social structures of oppression and structural violence that make up the landscape of our work, and we’ll consider collective and individual responses to loss that can give a foot up on being harmed and disconnected in the work and honour our humanity and our pretty fabulous ways of “showing up and doing the hard things.”
We’ll also consider Holding on and Letting Go, strategies for honouring clients’ lives and our own best work held in a tension alongside the pain of loss. Finally we’ll strategize ways to creatively and collectively respond to our heartbreak and suffering that are generative and promote sustainability. There will be group discussion and teach back as part of the session.
