Self care is absolutely essential for helping professionals. As we continue our journey through
the COVID-19 pandemic we are inundated with new stressors making self care even more
timely. We will be leading a book group on self care. Our selected book is The Resilient
Practitioner: Burnout and Compassion Fatigue Prevention and Self-Care Strategies for the
Helping Professions. We will move through book in a four-part series as we explore and discuss
many aspects of self-care for helping professionals.
By the end of this book club participants will be able to:
1. Identify common sources of both stress and joy in the practice of couple and family therapy.
2. Identify strategies for personal and professional self care.
3. Assess personal life balance.
4. Identify and engage with sources of professional support.
