This webinar is free and open to the public.

The National Association of Social Work (NASW) Code of Ethics, updated in 2021, now explicitly requires social workers to prioritize professional self-care to maintain competence and prevent harm to clients. This includes practicing self-reflection, managing workloads, and connecting with support systems to prevent burnout, compassion fatigue, and ethical issues. *

Achieving work-life balance for behavioral health professionals involves setting clear boundaries, prioritizing self-care, using support systems, and leveraging flexibility. Self-care plays a critical role in supporting physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and social health. In this webinar, participants will explore the 6 domains of wellness and discover practical strategies for preventing burnout. The session will emphasize the power of mindfulness, an evidence-based approach proven to reduce stress and enhance self-care.

In this webinar participants will: 

  • Recognize early warning signs of burnout and effective ways to address them
  • Understand the six domains of wellness and how to maintain balance
  • Integrate three self-care techniques into your daily routine
  • Practice mindfulness strategies designed to boost focus, productivity, and resilience
