Workshop Description

Self-care is often the magical solution presented to resolve people's experiences of feeling stressed, overwhelmed, burned out and overworked.  What do you think of when you think of self-care? - Maybe taking a few days off?  Having a spa day?  Enjoying a vacation?  Maybe a bubble bath?  Or maybe some alone time walking in the park?

So often the onus of responsibility for a person's well-being is placed solely on the individual's shoulders, rather than creating a culture of community care.  "Shouting self-care at people who actually need community care is how we fail them." (Nikita Valerio)

Join in on this interactive, experiential workshop to learn more about self-care versus community care and we can leverage our power, privilege and passion to engage in trauma informed, anti-oppressive practice, share power and create a culture of community care for ourselves, each other, our work places and the communities we serve.

Learning Objectives

After the completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Evaluate the concepts of self-care versus community care
• Identify trauma informed, anti-oppressive strategies to implement for community care
• Assess practices to create psychological safety for yourself and others
• Recognize the impact of structural oppression and inequity on self-care

This workshop is approved for 3.0 continuing education credit hours.
