Regular time dedicated to self-care can be difficult for any professional; particularly community leaders working to provide social supports in a variety of settings. As natural caretakers, you all are constantly pouring into others and self-care is especially important to develop our own emotional resilience, to benefit in the long-term. During this presentation, we will discuss a holistic approach to self-care and techniques to putting on our own oxygen masks first.
Discussion will include how we can use these resiliency techniques in our roles in Disaster Response.
