Recognition and Management of Burnout in Helping Professions: Guidelines for Educational Leaders and Teachers

Summary/Abstract: Burnout is a significant issue in helping professions such as coaching, education, and human resource management, where job demands can lead to severe physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion. The importance of the burnout topic is evidenced by the existence of national resources like the electronic portal for diagnosing and preventing burnout syndrome and fostering resilience among educational professionals (Stress Portal, 2024), as well as the findings of the „Teacher Resilience“ project, which emphasize the need for systematic approaches to managing professional stress and building resilience (Petrov, Afrikanov, & Yanakiev, 2022).This study analyzes the experiences of five seasoned professionals from these fields, focusing on burnout symptoms, prevention strategies, and coping mechanisms. Through qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews, key themes such as mindfulness, boundary setting, and the use of somatic practices have been identified. The results highlight the importance of a supportive environment created by school principals and educational leaders in preventing teacher burnout.
