Returning to our Roots: Remembering Why the Work is Important and Why we Love it |
Handout(s): |
The last two years have been challenging for many of us in the field. COVID, Civil Unrest, Loneliness & Social Isolation have contributed to staff burnout and people leaving the field that they once loved. As we return to in person work, it will be important to learn from our challenges and reconnect to the reasons we entered the field. While re-connecting with our coworkers we can return to our shared purpose and meaning in the work that we do. |

Creating and Sustaining Resilience in the Workplace |
Handout(s): |
Self-care is destructive within the culture of most helping organizations in the behavioral health field. Most organizations hold staff accountable for maintaining workplace wellness. What would happen if Leaders focused on organizational culture and employees supplemented “Self-Care” by intentionally engaging in practices that restore their, “Pool of Resilience?” |
The goal(s) of this workshop is to explore assumptions related to the daily work of helping organizations in the behavioral health field and its impact on staff. This workshop will focus on specific tools and techniques aimed to support staff maintaining positive feelings and well-being while serving a wide range of individuals over extended periods of time. |

Mindfulness is a Dirty Word |
Handout(s): |
Mindfulness has its roots in meditation practices and teaches individuals to become increasingly conscious of their thoughts and feelings through observation of bodily sensations. Recently in Western culture, it has gained a dirty reputation as something only useful for young people or hipsters. In this course we review the effects of mindfulness and how to introduce it to a new population, the people you serve. |

Spirituality in Service |
This workshop designed to help a person make the link between their spiritual beliefs (What they have "faith" in) and their daily actions as part of serving others. Research demonstrates that individuals who have connected themselves and their actions to something larger than themselves - however they define that - are more resilient and hopeful. |
