Taking Care of Yourself: Self-Care is NOT Selfish
Taking care of other people is at the core of our work. It can be exhausting and demanding, and this is even truer during stressful times like the current pandemic. Despite the misleading title, self-care isn’t at all about selfishness. Self care is essential so we are able to keep meeting our personal and professional responsibilities. IHSA has partnered with consultant, Ericka Williams with EDWilliams Consultants, to develop and design this important pre-service that will address the concepts and impact of compassion fatigue, stress and burnout. We will explore skills and strategies for effective time management that will provide best practices for prioritizing tasks, overcoming procrastination, improving your concentration, and dealing with frequent distractions which all lead to additional stress, pressure and burnout. This pre-service training will provide concrete steps for developing a professional self-care plan and your team will leave feeling recharged and armed with a toolbox of ideas to brave whatever changes the new school year may bring.
