Your Training Description
How can we support resilience in young people if we cannot or do not feel it within ourselves? To help youth develop their own resilience, we need to have a plan in place to support our own resilience. Think of self-care as your ethical obligation. If you don’t take care of yourself properly, you won’t have the resilience to do your best work. This training will help you understand how connected self-care is to resilience. Emphasis will be placed on your own ideas of how to live in hope, sustain and support connection with loved ones and community, and create meaning in your work and life.
Your Learning Objectives
- Learn how lack of or poor self-care leads to anxiety, burnout, and exhaustion
- Review recent literature on burnout and resilience and its implications for best practice in youth work
- Create a plan for regular self-care as a best practice in your youth work
