[QUOTE="MadCatLady, post: 15297, member: 7960"] See the link below. The website is quite clunky, but you should be able to see an outline of the programme including videos of past sessions and being able to register your interest. Depending on when they get funding a new intake will be later this year or early next year. [URL unfurl="true"]https://ndsa.uk/tool-up/courses/going-through-mentoring-programme/[/URL] It's run by ND people for ND people, so nobody is talking about things they don't have personal experience of. It's a 3 part programme with weekly teaching sessions, a weekly support group and 1:1 mentoring. You'd meet people with similar experiences and in your 1:1 mentoring could look at burnout as one of your goals. My homework this week was to look at this but my brain is struggling with the heat and new medication. My burnout is different to part experiences of depression, but extremely disabling. I also have anxiety at the moment which is probably the most disabling aspect. Autistic burnout is not well understood medically and often misdiagnosed, partly as it's not an official diagnosis. I've found withdrawing rather than pushing through most helpful. [/QUOTE]
