Come learn about how to care for yourself by cultivating your emotional wellness. Being in the helping profession can be taxing. Spending so much time helping others can sometimes lead to stress or burnout or compassion fatigue. Let’s focus on what we can do to help ourselves and those we serve by implementing some simple practices that research has shown to improve our emotional wellness. Emotional well-being, or emotional health or wellness, refers to how well people are able to accept and manage their emotions and cope with challenges throughout life. Emotional well-being can affect how well someone can function day to day or how they are able to deal with change or uncertainty. Come learn and experience some strategies to help you in your own wellness.
