About this event

While fulfilling the roles on our jobs, and, as we care for and meet the needs of those we serve, we sometimes forget or struggle to pause and take care of ourselves. After long hours, day after day, as we pour out, our well-being (i.e. emotional, physical, mental, intellectual, occupational, spiritual etc.) becomes compromised or neglected. Subsequently, we fail to consistently engage in self-care, neglect to live in the moment and struggle to experience joy, peace and a healthy well-being.

In the world we live in today, things have shifted and continue to be fluid. We tend to continue and operate “the way we used to,” when in fact, there’s a “new normal” which requires a shift in how we do the work we do. The first shift and transition is to continually pour into ourselves as we become as well as maintain being revived and rejuvenated. This then allows us to maximize our performance as we meet the needs of others and the needs of our organizations.

Take a moment out of your “busy schedule” as you create time for yourself to hear and learn more about pausing to focus on you, on your well-being and the need for continuous self-care as you:

• Explore various pillars of your own well-being while caring for yourself

• Become aware of burnout, secondary traumatic stress, and vicarious trauma, all which are symptoms of compassion fatigue (professional trauma is very prevalent as we carry out responsibilities)

• Honor yourself as you embrace work life balance while adapting to your “new normal”

• Include “you” in the work you do as you create a self-care plan
