Behind the Scenes: Exploring Self-Care Through the Lens of Mental Health Heroes, A Phenomenological Approach
Thursday October 10, 2024 12:30pm - 1:30pm PDT
210B
The work of a mental health professional can be very rewarding, however there are inherent risks involved in this profession that can impact the emotional and physical wellbeing of the provider. In general, mental health providers have a tendency to neglect their own self-care and continue to provide services to clients in an impaired or distressed state and can ultimately lead to experiencing occupational hazards. This workshop will explore a phenomenological study on self-care from the lens of community mental health providers. Participants will be able to:
1. Gain awareness on the impact of the workplace on the self of the provider
2. Identify occupational hazards and recognize the symptoms
3. Understand how attitudes and feelings about self-care impact one’s ability to practice it
4. Empower school mental health providers and educators to align their values with actions and regularly engage in self-care practices
