Avoiding End-of-Year Burnout
At this point in the school year, the pace can feel nonstop for school-based therapy and mental health teams across schools, disciplines, and settings.
IEP reviews, evaluations, therapy sessions, and planning for next year can all converge within just a few weeks.
It’s not just the workload — it’s how many priorities are happening at the same time.
At this stage, it’s less about resetting and more about getting through this stretch in a sustainable way.
A few ways teams are managing:
• Focusing on what truly needs attention now
• Sharing the workload across the team
• Letting go of perfection during high-demand weeks
• Taking small moments to regroup when possible
The work you’re doing right now matters more than ever.
What’s helping you (or your team) stay steady during the final stretch?
