Keynote: Self-Care in the Context of 2020! (Adult Series)

Strengthening self-awareness to reduce burnout in times of stress and uncertainty (Self-Care) is a KEYNOTE address focusing on the biggest need for self-awareness and self-care in 2020! Now more than ever we need to access our sources of resilience, strength and grounding.

Participants will be introduced to the concept of burnout and learn about the Zones of Self-Awareness to detect when their stress response systems have been activated. Several sources of resilience will be explored for strengthening or building self-regulation and grounding in times of stress.  This takes participants on a journey to the center of themselves (sometimes we call it getting a Ph.D. in you!). Several concepts, self-care strategies and tools will be introduced:

1.   The Neurobiology of Stress on the Body, Brain and Behavior

2.   Burnout and Compassion Fatigue

3.   Zones of Self-Awareness and Cultivating Grounders in Times of Stress

4.   Health and Wellness Toolkit

5.   STOP Tool

6.  Breathing as an Anchor and Remote Control to Self-Regulation

7.  Cultural Neuroscience of Self-Care

Participants receive a Professional Development Certificate for 2-hours upon completion.
