Resilience through Connecting, Caring, and Coping

With the regular demands of day-to-day life and work, it is essential to support our own health and mental wellness. However, taking the time to care for ourselves can often seem challenging, ineffective, or impossible. In this Lunch & Learn session, we will discuss mental health, the effects of stress and burnout, look at what self-care is (and isn’t), and reflect on the importance of effective team care. We will reflect on the personal strategies for strengthening our own resilience in our busy lives through supportive networks, self-compassion, and accessible coping techniques.
