Session Description:

This training is focused on how collective care, self-care, and obstacles that provide collective wellbeing for clients, communities, and practitioners themselves. This course is 1.0 CE.

Collective wellness cannot occur without each member of the collective working to first care for himself as an individual. This workshop is designed to explore and to clarify individualized self-care practices that will ultimately contribute to a wider, collective wellbeing. We’ll also highlight common obstacles that prevent the free exercise of self-care as well as the ramifications of absent self-care practices. This webinar is eligible for 1 CE.

Learning Goals: 

1. Participants will be able to define the concept and value of self-care and to understand its contribution to collective care.
2. Participants will be able to create a wellness plan and to identify an accountability partner for executing said plan. 
3. Participants will be able to identify access points for engaging in self-care as well as associated barriers.
