Self-preservation refers to a set of behaviors adopted to protect ourselves and maintain personal wellbeing, stemming from an understanding that protecting our physical, emotional, and psychological health is a prerequisite for doing our best work for our students and one another. As staff providing direct support to students with a wide range of lived experiences, it is especially important to curate an approach to self-preservation that fits into our busy lives so that we can fill our own cups before pouring ourselves out for others. Join Liza for a five-part experiential workshop series focused on exploring a variety of tools, practices, and resources that support our unique wellbeing at and beyond work. All workshops will be held from 2:00 - 3:15 p.m. in Dwinelle Hall, with an optional social half-hour following each session.
Professional burnout is a WHO-recognized occupational phenomenon and a common feature of high-performance organizational cultures. Developing healthy boundaries is a key strategy to support burnout prevention & recovery. Attend this session to explore ways that we can cultivate boundaries that allow us to maintain a high level of performance in our work!
