Protecting Our Own Well Being in Challenging Times with Wayne Tormala

Compassion Fatigue: Self-Care When Life is Disrupted!
We still care for the lives of those we serve, our co-workers, friends and family, and we still believe in the mission of what we do, but our resilience may be running low! And when we don’t attend to this, professional and personal BURNOUT is just around the corner. Simply put, if we don’t engage in healthy self-care, we are even more hard-pressed to care for others.

This workshop helps attendees set their intentions toward self-care,and address the adverse impacts of compassion fatigue on our health and well-being by navigating tailored ways of attaining our own sense of wholistic well-being.

“Protecting Our Own Well-Being in Challenging Times” consists of five half-day workshops (see below) designed to build attendees’ knowledge and skills in attaining sustainable life balance and awakened decision-making amidst the many distractions and stressors that bombard us in tumultuous times. Workshops are presented in didactic and experiential formats that include both group engagement and highly-individualized attention, and utilize a framework addressing five dimensions of well-being: physical comfort, mental ease, emotional balance, social connectedness, and spiritual lightness. As a core value in each session, every effort will be made to ensure a “safe space” for attendees to participate in a manner that is responsive to their needs and interests. While the workshop series provides a continuum of five major areas of focus, each session can also be attended as a single, independent event with specific content and intended outcomes.
