In\nrecent years\, concerns about post-secondary student burnout has been\nincreasing.\n\nBurnout can occur as a result of chronic stress with little time for\nrecovery and rest. When left unaddressed\, burnout can re sult in\nlarger\, and even long-term concerns. In this evidence-based sess ion\,\nwe will explore the causes and signs of burn-out\, as well as some\ npractical strategies for addressing and preventing burnout.

Feedback received during these conversation s will\ndirectly inform the FoE Community Wellness Framework and the welln ess\ninitiatives outlined in the Strategic Plan. \n\nThe health and wellb eing of our students matters to us as much as\ntheir academic and professi onal success. Wellness and wellbeing are\ndynamic states that fluctuate an d can be enhanced. Approximately 70%\nof first-time mental health conditio ns onset between the ages of 16\nand 24. This age range also marks a perio d of significant transition\nfrom adolescence to emerging adulthood. Young people leave behind high\nschool and move into post-secondary education o r transition to work.\nIn addition\, research shows that the unique demand s of STEM education\nincrease the risks of stress related health concerns. \n\nThe strain of engineering education\, together with this impactful\npe riod of transition\, makes it critically important for post-secondary\nins titutions to support student mental health. As part of our\ncommitment to the wellbeing of our entire community\, the Faculty of\nEngineering (FoE) is creating a Wellness Framework\n[https://uwaterloo.ca/engineering-wellne ss-program/wellness-framework-strategic-initatives/foe-wellness-framework- and-implementation-plan]\nto guide the implementation and evaluation of ou r wellness\ninitiatives.\n\nA Framework is a set of guiding principles\, p riorities\, and values\nthat inform the implementation of programs and ini tiatives. Frameworks\nare most effective when they have been developed wit h input from\nacross the community\, and from other key stakeholders.\n\nT hroughout the 2023 Spring and Fall terms\, the FoE is hosting a series\nof Wellness Conversation Circles to gather perspectives and insights\nfrom F oE students around wellbeing within Engineering including what\nenhances/c ontributes to wellbeing and what diminishes/creates barriers\nto wellbeing . We are also looking for your ideas and suggestions for\nfuture programs and initiatives. DTSTAMP:20260420T200537Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
