Self-Care 101: Creating Sustainable Support for Parents and Providers
As in all helping professions, burnout and employee turn-over occur at a high rate in the EHDI field. The emotional toll can be much larger than we expect, especially when workforce is low, and stress and responsibility are high. We spend immense energy helping others and often forget to take care of ourselves to the same degree. However, we are more likely to be effective in our roles and have adequate job satisfaction when we are taking care of ourselves. This experiential workshop will identify person-specific and moment-specific self-care practices that will help parents and providers stay grounded, centered, and productive. Personal preferences and obstacles will be identified. Trauma-informed care and infant mental health considerations will be applied as a framework for understanding the importance of self-regulation skills. Mindfulness, art, nature, and exercise will be explored as options for in-the-moment and preventative self-care activities. The workshop will use somatic awareness as a means of using the wisdom of our bodies to inform us of our needs. Join us in an effort to combat burnout, and sustain your energy for the rest of the EHDI conference.
- Participants will be able to identify their in-the-moment unmet needs.
- Participants will apply trauma-informed care and infant mental health principles to concepts about self-care.
- Participants will experience the impact of various types of brief self-care interventions.
