For years, the concept of self-care wasn’t really front-of-mind for CYC practitioners, or really anyone else. Over a decade or so, self-care zoomed into focus as the concepts of burnout, compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma came to the forefront. Now, many of us are over ‘self-care’. We are tired to being told to practice individual stress management, personal mindfulness practices, and take vacation or personal time to recharge. What happens when we go back to work? The same old - same old that again results in increased negative stress, burnout, compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma. Then we are back to the same old responses, and another cycle on the carousel.

In this webinar, we will explore practices that support teams coming together to create environments that are more supportive to the group as a whole, which can then reduce individual stress and burnout. We will explore approaches and practices that can be used in the workplace, policies that support health and wellness, and what we can do in the digital arena to support team and organizational wellness and authenticity.
