It also looks at acknowledging stress, the difference between stress and burnout, mitigating and managing stress (work/life), and understanding that "it's OK to not be OK...BUT...it's NOT OK to not ask for help". Additionally, it focuses on the importance of building relationships and how they can help us mend by looking beyond self.
