Stay home, wear a mask, practice social distancing, get tested, follow the public health advice. Self Care is also caring for yourself, your family and your community.
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
