Description

Self-care is not a new concept for mental health providers–it is an ethical imperative. Effective and sustainable clinical work requires providers to be intentional about their own well-being and self-care. Given the emotionally intensive nature of the profession, providers are at heightened risk for compassion fatigue, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress.While providers are trained to create comprehensive treatment plans for clients, these plans often overlook their own human needs. Mental health providers need to be prepared to address the realities of their lived experiences to successfully sustain and flourish in the field. This session invites participants to examine their personal lives while developing realistic self-care plans that account for work-life balance. Emphasis will include interventions and technology strategies to support well-being and address professional hurdles such as compassion fatigue.

Educational Goal

The goal of this workshop is to support mental health providers in enhancing professional sustainability by identifying sources of stress and support, aligning self-care practices with personal and professional realities, and developing a tailored self-care and professional wellness plan.

  • Identify personal and professional sources of stress and support that impact provider wellbeing.
