Abstract:

Burnout today, whether professionally or personally, is increasing due to the lack of time and attention devoted to oneâ??s own physical, mental, spiritual and emotional health and well-being. Since 1970â??s, the studies have shown that burnout continues to be a significant factor in retaining employees in the health and human services industries, overall job satisfaction, as well as negatively affecting employeeâ??s home lives. Subsequently, since many recipients of services are also experiencing burnout themselves, the level of care that is being delivered can be compromised if the practitioner is not following their own consistent health and wellness practice. A self-health model, incorporating physical, mental, spiritual and emotional activities, available to health and human services professionals has not been established. MyFOURmulaâ?¢ and The MyFOURmula Wayâ?¢ is a selfhealth practice that provides a foundation of simple, effective and achievable tools and techniques to combat the symptoms of burnout. The practice has also been the foundation of successful recovery outcomes for individuals who live with mental health and/or substance use disorders. Health care programs in New York, that have followed the program consistently, have shown morale improvement in the work environment, increase employee retention and overall job satisfaction. A theory being further developed in this study is that when practitioners follow this self-health and wellness model, the service delivery to the recipients of those services will lead to increased customer satisfaction and better service recipient outcomes.
