Tri-State Webinar: Self-Care: Your Work Is As Good As You Are

Description:

Professional development is focused on teaching adult staff strategies and techniques to improve student skills, behavior, and performance. The direction is always student-focused: teaching curriculum, strategies, topic information, to increase our knowledge of how to improve student outcomes. Clearly, we need to master a set of skills to be competent in our profession. However, we learn skills to better take care of others but are never allowed professional time to learn how to better take care of ourselves. We're expected to do that on our own time, except, we are usually using a lot of our own time to become better professionals in our work setting. 

To be truly successful at your job and your life, you need to be healthy: physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. It is impossible to truly serve others unless you can first be balanced within yourself.

We will discuss current research on a number of areas of health, wellness and happiness. Participants will be encouraged to look honestly at their own behaviors, thoughts, and emotions and identify areas of strengths and need. We will offer numerous strategies to begin to change routines and bring greater balance, health, and happiness into your life.
