Taking Care of Self, Staff, and Community

Thursday, March 10, 2022 | 12:00p | One-hour webinar

We're all aware that self-care is important. We recognize the value of eating healthy, getting plenty of sleep, exercising regularly. However, practicing self-care as a solo activity misses a critical aspect of our well-being: that we are social beings and we need social connection for deeper sustenance. In this webinar, we'll explore ideas for expanding core self-care practices to encompass connections with work colleagues and more broadly with community members.
