Practice

Presentation Description:  
This presentation examines burnout and workplace stress through a Problem Solving Training 
(PST) framework, integrating elements of Combat and Operational Stress Control (COSC) to enhance 
understanding of stress response cycles and coping. Participants will learn how stress impacts cognitive 
functioning and problem-solving capacity and how PST and COSC strategies can be applied in EAP practice. 
The session includes brief considerations for supporting neurodivergent clients in workplace 
settings.
Learning Objectives:
1) _ Describe how stress response and burnout affect cognitive capacity and problem-solving in workplace and 
EAP settings, using COSC to assess readiness and pace intervention. 
2) Apply Problem Solving Training (PST) strategies to externalize, simplify, and visualize workplace stressors 
in order to reduce cognitive load and support effective coping and problem resolution. 
3) Apply an increased understanding of neurodivergent stress responses to support effective coping and 
problem-solving in workplace settings.
