Thoughtfully meeting the needs of others always comes with a cost – whether your time, energy, or resources – if you continually pour out without the opportunity to be renewed and replenished, you run the risk of burnout and compassion fatigue. Even before the pandemic's effects, self-care and wellness routines were essential to maintaining compassion, satisfaction, and mitigating the effects of secondary trauma. Now, the importance of ensuring your own scaffolding becomes even more significant, and this interactive workshop will explore some practical ways to develop the routines that will keep you engaged in your important work with tangible takeaway tools to continue the scaffolding for you and those you serve.
