Collective Care Through Self-Care

Description: 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.
