Self-Care and Resilience for Professionals of Color
Event Actions
Self-care and resilience are ever-growing topics but professionals often have difficulty incorporating these practices into their own lives.
SOLD OUT!
This workshop will delve into the research and practices around these topics specifically geared toward professionals of color.
We will explore race-based stressors and barriers to enacting self-care, including implicit and explicit bias. Our goal is to bring these concepts to life through self-reflection and discussion in order to apply them to our own lives.
Attendees will develop a deeper awareness of the insidious impact of race-based stressors on overall well-being. Through self-reflection, discussion and activities, they will learn to develop and apply lifelong self-care skills and their own self-care plan.
CEs: 2
Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to state and discuss some of the race-based stressors for professionals of color. They will also be able to state and discuss self-care strategies and barriers and will develop their own self-care/wellness plan during this workshop.
