Self Care for Care Providers, Protective Factors, Skills To Use, and Resources for Providers and Consumers
Taking care of oneself is the greatest gift you can give to you. Self care comes in many forms and has multiple definitions. It is a fundamental human need for thriving, resilience, nurturing and growth. This session will discover a continuum of self care; what it is, what resources, methods, skills, and traits are needed to meet your needs on this continuum. We will discover your specific self care needs and what is available to providers and consumers for access to the wealth of self-care resources. During these unprecedented times the use of effective self care skills is more important than ever, especially in replenishing and maintaining the human spirit, body and soul to provide care to ourselves and then to others.
