Jump to Course Contents
Description
Working as an addiction professional can be challenging and rewarding. For many, burnout is replacing a feeling of satisfaction. Self-care helps you respond to and prevent burnout. It also enables you to carry out your professional responsibility, which is to do well for your clients. Modeling good self-care is good for you and everyone else, including clients. The principles of self-care are the same as for recovery, as exemplified by recovery-oriented systems of care. These principles promote a person-centered, strengths-based approach that helps people marshal the individual, social, and environmental factors that support their well-being. This webinar gives you skills to make lasting change so you can be well to do well.
Learning Objectives
- Define the principles of good self-care and their parallels to SAMHSA’s 10 principles of recovery, particularly in the context of burnout.
- Apply three science-based strategies for making lasting change in your own life to reduce and/or prevent burnout.
- Review data from a pilot project that helped clinicians apply new change strategies in their own lives and improve outcomes for their clients.
