We get messages all of the time that self-care is retail therapy, going to a spa, and treating ourselves to pampering. And those things can be a part of a self-care practice. How can we move into a space where self-care and care for one other is more sustainable. We all need nourishment, rest and connection. Community care is a commitment to making sure no one around us goes without.
This workshop will explore what community care is, how it supports the needs of many individuals, and what cultivating it in our own communities can look like.
Presenter: Tess Benser
About the Summer Session Themes
After learning skills for workplace resilience - skills that help counter burnout, help prevent secondary traumatic stress, and that help strengthen your work within your team and with those to whom you provide service - how to you sustain these skills? This Summer Series is themed each month around one of the letters in CHIME - Connectedness, Hope & optimism, Identity, Meaning, Empowerment. Using CHIME can help you keep track of your own skills and check in with yourself on how you are doing.
