Not Another “Self-Care” Webinar: Why We Need to Move Beyond Self-Care to Address What’s Burning Us to the Ground

“Self-Care” as a concept had a promising start when introduced to the field. At its best, it was attempting to give acknowledgment that the job is hard and we need to honor ourselves. Unfortunately, it has now devolved into a concept that, at best, is unattainable, and, at worst, makes you feel worse (the exact opposite of what self-care is supposed to do). This Justice Clearinghouse webinar will discuss concrete alternatives to the idea of “self-care” and address reasons why it can actually be a high-risk strategy for providers in the field.

All Justice Clearinghouse webinars are 75 minutes long (1 hour for formal presentation, 10-15 minutes for Q&A).
