Mental health, self-care and burnout - strategies and conversations to help you and your workers

Whilst we know that burnout is multi-factorial and cannot be addressed simply by individual efforts and well-being programs, self-care does provide protection from occupational hazards.

It is also an ethical responsibility.

The Physiotherapy Practice Thresholds in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand (2024), describe the ability to 'recognise the need for , and implement, appropriate strategies to manage (their) physical and mental health and resilience' , as a professional and ethical competency.

This webinar presents an overview of well-being and mental health in the workplace and discusses strategies of recognition, prevention and intervention , including the tool of honest and compassionate conversations.

Ellen Lake


With over 30 years of experience as a physiotherapist and a member of the Australian Physiotherapy Association, I hold a First Class Honours degree from the University of Queensland and a Master's in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy from Flinders University. I am also a registered counsellor and psychotherapist with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA).

Throughout my career, I have held several leadership roles, including Chair of the APA Qld Mental Health Group (2017-2021), National Chair of the APA National Mental Health Group (2021-2024), Vice-President of the International Organisation of Physical Therapy in Mental Health (IOPTMH) since 2021, and Chair of the APA Mental Health Scientific Conference Committee (2021-2023).

My written contributions include articles such as 'Is it time to integrate Self-Care into physiotherapy practice?' and 'Loneliness' for InMotion. I have also contributed to APA's '5 Facts Mental Health, PTSD' series, and content on 'Inflammatory Arthritis and Mental Health' for IOPTMH.

I was Co-Chair at the World Physiotherapy Congress in Dubai (June 2023) on the topic of 'Self-Care and Burnout,' and will chair the upcoming World Physiotherapy Congress in Tokyo (May 2025) focused on 'Mental Health and Physiotherapy.' Additionally, I have co-presented workshops at APA Ignite 2023, addressing 'Self-Care, Mental Health and Burnout' and 'Trauma-Informed Care,' and will present a webinar in July 2024 on 'Self-Care, Mental Health and Burnout.'
