Description
During COVID-19, practicing self-care seems like a necessity for survival, and equally, managing to engage with self-care seems too daunting of a task right now. COVID-19 as a crisis and collective trauma has affected our brains, how we function, our capacity, and how we work with our communities. During a crisis that is also a collective trauma, school social workers can be exposed to burnout, compassion fatigue, or vicarious trauma at a higher rate. To help us counter the increased stress we’re all living through, finding ways of engaging in practices of self-care that are accessible, supportive, resilient and pleasurable can serve as a protective factor and possibly help reduce the long-term impacts of this trauma. This one-hour webinar will explore practices of self-care that can support individual, relational, and communal well-being during COVID-19.
