DESCRIPTION

Self-care is a concept that is often encouraged, but never really practiced by many in the social work field. During this presentation, participants will be re-introduced to signs of ‘burnout’, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and secondary traumatic stress. Participants will also have an opportunity to dialogue with their fellow colleagues on how they utilize self-care, in addition to being provided with interactive activities and ideas they can take back to their home agency.
