You are cordially invited to our final workshop of the year, Celebration of Self: End of Year Reflections!
What is “end of the year reflection”? It is an opportunity to join our Resiliency community as we pause to acknowledge and process some of our most significant learning experiences, challenges and successes of this past year.
Why is it important for us to reflect on this last year?
First, we have done the work! We made it through 2023 in spite of all of the emotional, physical, relational, personal, professional, political, economical and collective struggles that we have encountered. It is also important because many of us have committed to focusing on our personal and professional growth and development, learning new and different approaches and strategies to improve our well-being and our relationships with others in the workplace. Lastly, because YOU deserve to be celebrated for all of your contributions to the places where you take up space.
We will be using reflective practices as a meaningful, introspective approach in
reviewing our skills, strengths and competencies. We will explore ways to dig deeper and further develop and enhance our everyday functioning. Come. Share your knowledge, expertise, thoughts and ideas as we continue to build a more resilient community heading into 2024

About the Resilience Session Themes
After learning skills for workplace resilience - skills that help counter burnout, help prevent secondary traumatic stress, and help strengthen your work within your team and with those to whom you provide service - how do you sustain these skills? This Resilience Series is currently themed each month around one of the letters in CHIME - Connectedness, Hope & optimism, Identity, Meaning, and Empowerment. Using CHIME can help you keep track of your own skills and check in with yourself on how you are doing.
Supported in part by the Philadelphia Department of Public Health
This Resiliency Series is specially offered for community members and organizations who through their work are First Responders or are involved with those affected by the Substance Use Crisis in Philadelphia. The stress of caring for others can affect our bodies and minds. This free virtual series is here to support our workplaces and community and is open to anyone.
