Description 

This workshop is designed for clinicians at all career stages who want to prioritize self-care and sustain a fulfilling, long-term career in mental healthcare. It’s a perfect opportunity for individuals, workplace teams, or longtime colleagues to reconnect, deepen their clinical skills, and support one another in a meaningful, restorative setting. 

This experiential workshop offers a personal space to reflect upon the realities of burnout, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma. Participants will have opportunities to individually process their own experiences using principles from evidence-based approaches such as Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness, and Polyvagal Theory, while group discussion adds depth through shared insight. 

The workshop concludes with an applied component focused on developing sustainable strategies that support clinician well-being and enhance client healing in daily clinical practice.
