Self- Care for Mental Health Professionals, February 2023

This workshop was specifically created to support mental health professionals do the work they love while taking care of themselves. During the workshop, participants will learn what self-care is, what it isn’t, why it’s important, and why their current self-care isn’t working. This workshop is highly experiential as we complete questionnaires increasing insight into compassion fatigue, current self-care needs, and creating an action plan. Participants will also learn and practice helpful self-care tools and nervous system regulation exercises to support their emotional resiliency and a healthy nervous system. Team and department level strategies will also be discussed in order to promote systemic support.
