Northeast Regional Victim Services Presents
Dr. Vikki Reynolds - Turning burnout into collective Care workshop
April 20, 2018 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
Kerry Vickar Center, Melfort, SK
Registration Fee: $50
Registration Deadline: March 15, 2018
Includes snacks and Lunch
This invigorating and powerful one-day workshop offers an alternative approach to the notion of worker burnout. Those working with people struggling are often told that they will "burn out". Contrary to this is a story of sustainability; how our collective work sustains us, nourishes our hope, invites us to honor the resistance and strength we witness. This experiential workshop will address our collective ethics and
practic
es of
collective care as opposed to self care.
