Self-Care Strategies

In this webinar, hospital chaplain Laurel Crusinberry will talk about the reasons healthcare professionals need to prioritize self-care and how they can make choices to improve their own health and wellbeing.

Self-awareness, self-compassion, and self-advocacy are foundational to self-care. The more you understand your own needs, the better you will be able to choose a schedule and activities that protect your mental and physical health. During this webinar you will discover the questions and concepts you need to be using to build your own unique self-care plan.
