As individuals, social workers and mental health providers, we experience various layers of direct and indirect stress exposure. It is well known that stress can have a lasting impact on our entire system. When we only tend to the mind, our self-care and professional practice can feel out of balance; this imbalance can worsen and lead to experiencing burnout and be at-risk for compassion fatigue. This training serves as a foundation that supports mind-body work as accessible skills for self-care practice and techniques to improve your professional service
outcomes. This training will highlight modern techniques while honoring the ancient roots that they stem from. This training is intended to reflect a retreat-like atmosphere through experiential self-care practice and calming integrative techniques. This innovative training hopes to create movement and support change in the social work profession through the awareness and activation of the mind-body connection.
