What if we told you stress isn't something to avoid but to embrace? While we know that self-care is essential for wellness, we must go beyond bubble baths and drinking water to develop skills in real-time self-management to sustain this work.

In this session we will explore how stress effects ourselves and those we serve; help develop a new understanding of stress and how we can use it to deepen our work with others and apply in-the-moment strategies to use when engaging in difficult situations to mitigate the effects of stress, secondary traumatic stress, compassion fatigue and burnout.
