CF 102 – Communication and Ethics of Self-Care

Most individuals decide to enter the helping professions because of a deep commitment to help others – often practicing in spaces that interact with people during vulnerable and uncertain times.  As we communicate with our clients/patients on the importance of self-care as a prerequisite for wellbeing, many of us are experiencing compassion fatigue or burnout.  Why is self-care especially important for helping professionals and how does practicing self-care intersect with upholding our professional ethical standards?  In this invigorating presentation, Jenny Buckley, RN, BSN, will discuss the necessity for self-care as an ethical imperative, strategies for practicing self-care, and communication best-practices to promote self-care in your professional practice.  Participants will feel renewed encouragement to fuse self-care strategies into their everyday lives.
