While #selfcare may be trending on social media, the true act of self-care isn't what most people think. Self-care is an intentional action that you take to care for your health and wellbeing and is not necessarily fun, pleasurable, or easy. During this workshop, self-care will be discussed as it relates to the eight dimensions of wellness. Self-assessment strategies and tools for implementing self-care will be the focus. Veterinary specialty team members will come away with actionable steps for incorporating self-care into their personal and professional lives.
Learning Objectives:
Understand the definition of self-care and why it is necessary for veterinary care providers.
Recognize the eight dimensions of wellness and how self-care can be used to foster each of them.
Complete a self-care assessment and make a self-care plan.
