NCTCA 2022

When you hear the term self-care, what goes through your mind? "It doesn't fix anything." "I don't have time." "Who has time for that?" This session will look at practical self-care strategies that can benefit both you and your classroom. While there is a ten billion dollar a year industry that professes being able to offer self-care and in turn "fix" people, many of these products and strategies aren't REAL self-care. As we work through the content of the presentation, participants will create their own self-care plan to help them develop strategies that really work for them. The session will also explore the difference between burnout, compassion fatigue, and vicarious traumatization.
