The multidisciplinary staff working in the provider fields face daily stressors in providing the quality of services they are dedicated to. Dealing with staff shortages, lack of needed resources, being the catalyst for motivation and change can take a toll.
Life can bring many difficult moments, work can be tough, and the only control we have is over what we choose to do with it. We ALL need more love and more laughter in our lives- we need to make time to celebrate and enjoy the gifts we’ve been given! Those of us that work serving others often leave ourselves behind. We assist others in wellness planning and rarely make space for our own. During our time together we will explore where we are, where we want to be, and many ways we might practice getting there! Bring your beautiful, creative, willing self and join us while we work our way back to love and laughter!
Life is too short- have fun, laugh a little, love what you do, and do what you love! YOU ARE WORTH IT AND YOU MATTER!! This day of learning is about how to replenish one's self, take care of the provider/ professional so they can continue to feel energized to give their best and be their best without sacrificing their health and well being! Come prepared to learn, interact, play, re-engerize and have fun!
