Enrol Now Emergency Self Care School

Be Your Own First Responder

Intensive Self Care is critical to helping us through some of life's most difficult moments. We like to say, Self Care is like giving yourself a big hug when you most need it.

WOW Self Care School is committed to supporting the wider community throughout the COVID19 health pandemic.

For many of us this is a time of considerable anxiety.

It is also a time when for many of us life also throws additional curve balls - our lives and dreams can be thrown upside down. At the moment you might be in what I call 'emergency mode'. Whether you are enmeshed in workplace bullying, workplace abuse and harassment as a target, have faced a redundancy, had a relationship break down, lost a loved one, been in an accident, had a health scare, or been affected by an economic downturn, your ability to deal with and care for yourself will be key to getting you through. Your health and wellbeing must always come first.

A carefully thought through Emergency Self Care Plan will give you the ability to address a crisis from a position of personal strength, clarify and reassess your needs and ultimately help you to finding fulfilment, joy and success once again.

The emergency version of Self Care School is designed to give you some control in an otherwise very chaotic situation. The program works within the WHO Framework: WHO defines self-care as “the ability of individuals, families and communities to promote health, prevent disease, maintain health, and to cope with illness and disability with or without the support of a healthcare provider”. An important part of the Emergency Edition of Self Care School is Health Literacy -making informed choices to protect your health.

We acknowledge how challenging this crisis is for humanity on many, many levels. We are all in this together.

For many of us this is a time of considerable anxiety.

To help, Self Care School has released a special emergency version of Self Care School. It is designed to give you some control in an otherwise chaotic situation that is a once in a generation health crisis and to support your mental health. The program works within the WHO Framework: WHO defines self-care as “the ability of individuals, families and communities to promote health, prevent disease, maintain health, and to cope with illness and disability with or without the support of a healthcare provider”. An important part of the Emergency Edition of Self Care School is Health Literacy -making informed choices to protect your health.

In 2017 Sydney Morning Herald Investigative Journalist, Kate McClymont was researching a story on workplace sexual harassment in Australia post the Harvey Weinstein #metoo storm that was engulfing Hollywood and the world. It was Bridget Ninness along with other women who spoke with Kate McClymont and broke the story on the years of torment she endured by Don Burke as his senior producer on Burke’s Backyard. Bridget had taken legal action against Don Burke for the alleged psychological injury she sustained in the workplace. The matter settled.

Self Care School (Emergency Edition) is an on demand video based course designed to embed positive coping skills into your daily self care practices across your life.

It uses evidence based and trauma informed practices. At the end of the course you will have developed your very own emergency self care plan.

Self Care School (Emergency Edition) has been specifically designed to strengthen Self Care practices and build resilience through enhancing wellbeing. Mind. Body. Spirit. In this edition we focus on understanding the psychology of emotion and putting in place practical Self Care tools to fall back on when times require that extra special self love.

WOW Self Care School is delivered by WOW Chaplaincy, the first humanist workplace chaplaincy.

We are all about caring for people.

The development of Self Care School has been designed to compliment our First Responder services because we recognise YOU taking care of YOU is critical to a growth mindset through some of life's toughest challenges.

Think of the Emergency Edition of WOW Self Care School as your opportunity to stop, breathe, reflect and change direction as needed. It's your Plan B. Reset and move forward.

*Self Care School is not an alternative to good psychological therapy and we encourage you to discuss if this course may be helpful for you with your own treating therapist, if you are currently being supported.

Bonus: Self Care Experience
