Self-care can be defined broadly as any activity that we do intentionally in order to take care of our mental, emotional and physical health. This simple yet integral concept is frequently overlooked; many of us fail to realize that self-care isn’t a luxury, it is essential to our survival. Mental health specialists often find themselves becoming quickly overworked and overstressed, leading to emotional exhaustion, vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue. Work has found its way into home-life and our once great passion for helping others has been replaced with feelings of apathy, exhaustion and being burnt out. While greatly encouraging our clients to take care of themselves we somehow end up neglecting our own needs.
This event will highlight the importance of self-care by examining the neuroscience behind self-care as well as empowering clinicians and those they serve by providing interventions and strategies for creating or enhancing our self-care practices. We know that self-care is essential to maintaining good mental and physical health. So, participants will get to experience self-care strategies in real time and learn from practitioners across disciplines; including a Certified Health Coach who is also a Licensed Massage and Body Work Therapist as well as a Doctor of chiropractic and naturopathic medicine.
