Join Vikki Reynolds for an insightful webinar that delves into the nuances of vicarious trauma and burnout, exploring how the spiritual and ethical challenges of our work impact our well-being and our ability to uphold dignity and social justice for our clients. We’ll differentiate Collective Care from traditional self-care, emphasizing the importance of community support in our resilience journey. Together, we’ll examine the power of hope and challenge the patronizing self-care advice often given to workers. This session will provide a client-centered approach to resisting burnout, advocating for compassionate treatment of ourselves and our colleagues. By the end, participants will be inspired to step into The Zone of Fabulousness, a state of fulfillment and resilience in their professional lives.
