The stress-disease connection has been noted in history for centuries, yet our modern educational and medical systems are limited in it’s application. In this training, you will begin to learn the science of the mind-body connection, negative impacts of unmanaged stress on our bodies, and how effective management of emotions can improve physical and mental health. Learn practical coping skills and tools for immediate application with self and clients.

Our ongoing societal traumas, injustices, inequities, and challenges for the past several years have created a climate where the supervisor and supervisee are often having similar experiences. As is true in the therapist-client relationship, therapeutic alliance is the foundation for safety, change, growth, and healing. Disclosure and connection support the supervisee’s needs of learning from a more experienced social worker, while validating their experiences along the way. We will learn the necessity for integrating relational practices into the professional supervisory relationship.

In today's complex and demanding world, the concept of self-care has evolved far beyond fleeting moments of relaxation. As helping professionals, caretakers, and individuals navigating unprecedented challenges, we recognize the critical need for sustainable well-being. This workshop, 'Self-Care: Beyond the Bubble Bath,' delves into the essential practice of cultivating resilience and fostering holistic wellness.
