Join us for our monthly meeting to network and for a special presentation by Dr. Pat Gleason-Wynn, LCSW, RN.  April is National Stress Awareness Month.  Self-care is important to minimize stressors in our daily lives, especially when taking care of loved ones too!  Dr. Gleason-Wynn will define self-care and its relationship to compassion fatigue, explore outcomes of poor self-care and impact on professional practice and personal life, and provide suggestions for practicing healthy self-care. A balanced life means paying equal attention to work, play, social relationships, family relationships, personal growth, spiritual well-being, and personal physical and emotional health. Losing sight of personal self is a shortcut to burnout, distress, and impairment.
