chance to assess their current level of self-care, learn
5 practical actions they can take to make self-care
part of their regular routine and plan around
potential barriers, and create a working self-care plan
to take home. The session will also cover some
practical suggestions for times when the self-care
needed is to address a current personal crisis.
