Course Description
Are you one of the 93% of mental healthcare workers who have experienced burnout (according to the National Council for Mental Wellbeing 2023 Behavioral Health Workforce Survey)? And don't you also need your ethics CEUs?
Here you'll cover both subjects, in a fun and genuinely impactful way. This unique, full-participation class is designed to leave you feeling both relaxed and energized.
What You'll Explore
We'll delve into areas of ethical consideration for the clinical professional, with a focus on the epidemic of burnout. Through honest self-reflection and mindful, creative exercises, you'll gain a deeper understanding of your own relationship to burnout and identify practical strategies for resilience. You will then be able to deliver your hands-on learning experience to those you serve.
Come as You Are
No artistic experience is necessary! Simply bring:
- Your willingness to explore
- Notebook (or loose paper)
- Your favorite writing pen
- Some coloring tools (crayons, markers, etc.)
We'll harness the power of the crooked line – embracing imperfection and fostering a playful approach to self-discovery and recovery.
Join us for an insightful experience that will transform the way you approach ethics and prioritize your wellbeing.
