Taking care of yourself is vital. It can be challenging to prioritize time for yourself when there are so many other people and things to take care of in life. But focusing on others, whether it’s family, students or friends, is difficult if you haven’t already taken care of your needs. We also need to call out the need for collective or community care, which is communal responsibility of the group rather than the lone task of an individual. By the end of this course, participants will be able to: understand the definitions of commonly used terms; increase knowledge about the ABCs of self-care; learn about collective care and healing-centered environments; complete your Action Plan with your self-care information.
