December Virtual Learning Series: Year-End Wellness

Description

The holidays are often a time of family gatherings, celebration, and joy. They can also bring up big emotions, discomfort, common triggers, and added responsibilities or obligations. Anticipating and preparing for common holiday stressors and prioritizing self-care can help to ensure that this holiday season is full of joy and gratitude – at work and at home! We recognize that self-care is important for any professional who works with vulnerable children and/or adults, as well as for parents and even youth. It’s especially important now, with many people experiencing burnout due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Understanding vicarious trauma and reframing Self-Care through an ethical lens can help as we navigate through the holidays, especially when supporting those that have experienced victimization or trauma. Join Children's Home Society Prevention Education for our December learning series where we will discuss: Understanding Vicarious Trauma (December 5th 12-1p MT/ 1-2p CT) The Ethics of Self- Care (December 12th 12-1p MT/ 1-2 CT) Self-Care Strategies for the Holidays (December 19th 12-1p MT/ 1-2 CT)
