Abstract: Burnout is an ongoing concern for counseling professionals across the career span. Master's students studying to enter the field are vulnerable to burnout due to multiple factors, including the numerous challenges associated with graduate school and the dearth of experience coping with the pressures of clinical work. The onus of self-care is often placed solely on students, yet the training process allows opportunity for shared responsibility among leaders who encounter counselors in training. Considering the roles of counselor educators, faculty, and administrators; counselor supervisors and workplace leaders; and master's-level students themselves, the authors apply the 5 P Communitarian Model for Preventing Burnout (Simionato et al., 2019) to the master's-level counseling training process and suggest strategies for prevention.
