Destress, Decompress, and Have Fun: Essential Skills for Life

This is a 1.5 hour session.

In order to avoid burn out and mitigate vicarious trauma, Social Workers must be vigilant about practicing good self care.This presentation shares easy and effective skills to support our bodies, emotions, and thoughts in releasing the traumatic impact of the stories we bear witness to everyday.I will share skills and information from polyvagal theory, somatic experiencing, and gratitude research.I will present the material experientially in a manner that promotes connectivity and builds resilience.My hope is that everyone attending will leave the workshop a little less stressedand with a little more ability to stay that way.
