I was fortunate today to present at the @sltmarjon conference on behalf of @marjongv. We explored the extent of burnout in current SLT students across the UK, and discussed the importance of looking after your mental health as a student.
Brilliant presentation from Izzy, Issy and Ella @marjongv raising the profile of self care and looking out for each other in the learning and work setting. Understanding what burnout is, ways to recognise it and ways to prevent it matters 🙏 @sltmarjon

forms.gle/hcRYmJz2ymqEVeYg9 I am seeking survey responses from all UK-based #SLTs and #SLT2b on your perceptions and experiences of #neurodiversity-affirming practice in #SLT. All responses are anonymous and the questions should take no longer than 15 minutes to complete. I would be really grateful if you could complete and/or share 🙂.
