A career in social work and the helping professions can be very rewarding. Sometimes, the work can leave us depleted and in need of rest and reassurance. We will explore ways we have been inspired in our work and how we influence others, how to hold on to each of our accomplishments as big or small as they might be, and how to use mindfulness strategies to manage the daily challenges that caring for others brings. Some light movement and meditation will be offered and can be done in a chair.
Margaret Jessop, PsyD, will lead this webinar.
