Self-Care at Work
A Series on Wellness Strategies for Health and Wellbeing
Working on the front lines of heath care and behavioral health is exciting, fulfilling and gratifying. It can also be demanding, stressful, and overwhelming. Long hours working with people who are struggling to stay healthy while dealing with lots of personal, economic, and social challenges can really take its toll.
Feeling Run Down And Struggling With Work-Life Balance?
In the business of helping people, our to-do lists are long, the people we work with need us, and there never seem to be enough hands and resources to go around. As helpers, we tend to let ourselves be a last priority. Work is hard, life is hard, and continuing to show up for bboth whilefeeling the all-too-common signs of burnout and compassion fatigue can leave us in a tough spot.
We invite you to attend any or all of our five self-care workshops. These sessions focus on ways to live with joy, safety, and compassion for oneself. This translates to greater productivity and workplace satisfaction to be at our best for our clients, without sacrificing ourselves in the process.
Each session will leave you with a spark of hope, a sense of community, and a plan for ongoing well-being.

What our participants are saying...
"Everything about the training was meaningful to me. Learning about what compassion fatigue, compassion satisfaction, burnout, moral distress, and trauma were, including the signs of compassion fatigue were very meaningful and interesting at the same time".
