School psychologists are often subject to severe stress when they work with troubled families and children. Burnout from physical, mental, or emotional exhaustion as a result of the chronic stress is not uncommon in the profession. One problem of being attentive to the needs of others is that the caregiver's needs often get overlooked or forgotten. Developing self-awareness can help school psychologists become more proactive towards early signs of burnout. This article looks at the physical signs of stress and the research regarding school psychologists' experience with stress and burnout. It also considers some stress management techniques and suggests that if school psychologists are more attuned to their own signs of stress, they can be proactive in assessing their own needs and implementing some of the strategies to reduce stress and burnout.
