Human service professionals commit their careers to helping people work through life’s challenges, but at what cost? It’s all too easy to neglect your own needs when you work in the helping professions, but as the saying goes, “you can’t pour from an empty cup.” In this lively webinar, our panel of experts offer advice on how to avoid burn out and not succumb to compassion fatigue.
Take Care of You: Self-Care for the Helping Professional is a free virtual webinar produced by Spectrum Health and Human Services and the Spectrum Health Education and Training Institute (SETI)on Thursday, December 16 at Noon.
A panel of local experts will lead the conversation, including:
· Jaymee Caplan, LMHC, Staff Development Clinical Director for SETI;
· Stephanie Latawiec, Owner, Momma Bee Well Holistic Health Services in Amherst;
· Elaine K. Hammond, MSW, University at Buffalo; and
· Sandy White, community advocate and owner of Mustard Seed World Consulting Group will moderate.
