CEU: Soul Collage® Card Making and Card Reading For Social Workers

As social workers, we understand the ongoing need to take care of ourselves and each other as we meet the many challenges of our work. This may include: 

• Making time for self-reflection & rest and relaxation, which are essential for mental and physical health
• Staying connected with our friends, family, colleagues and support systems 
• Avoiding burnout and overwork. Know the signs of compassion fatigue and seek support as needed. 
• Setting appropriate boundaries with work, family and media. 
• Giving yourself permission to feel your feelings. 
• Engaging in social justice work that is important to you.
