Objective: Reduce the potential for burnout among outpatient mental health clinicians and staff.

Method: Develop an agency wellness protocol utilizing evidence-based interventions to reduce the potential for clinician and staff burnout.

Results: Survey data indicated low to moderate levels of burnout and depersonalization. Staff and clinician recommendations provided during feedback sessions were incorporated with evidence-based interventions to establish a wellness protocol.

Conclusion: Implementing evidence-based interventions in a wellness protocol may reduce the potential for clinician and staff burnout.
