PDA Society Burnout Conference.

Burnout is something many PDAers, parents, carers and professionals encounter – often repeatedly, and often without enough understanding or support.
This recorded conference brings together expert insight, lived experience and practical reflection, all focused specifically on burnout in PDA.
