Self Care to Collective Care in Challenging Times – August 5
Strategies for Personal & Collective Care During Challenging Times
This free webinar explores a variety of approaches and meaningful ways that we can engage in self and collective care. We will reflect on strategies to sustain ourselves in the work, to deepen our understanding of trauma-informed practice, and to care for ourselves, our teams and our communities.
As we find ourselves witnessing and living in increasingly complex and diffcult times, it is crucial that we learnways to care for ourselves so that we can care for those around us. This workshop explores vicarious trauma and trauma-informed practices through a social justice lens as well as techiques such as grounding and orienting, self-soothing, setting boundaries, finding our window of tolerance, making space for rest, and more.
This session will feature a comprehensive presentation, followed by a live Q&A.
