Queering Self-Care
Workshop Description: What is self-care and why is it so important? How do we practice self-care when we are so busy? The truth is, there are many barriers to self-care. A potential barrier to self-care could be our understanding of self-care. Together, we will debunk some misunderstandings about self-care and learn how to tailor our self-care approach to our individual needs. This workshop uses a trauma-informed approach to challenge common misconceptions about self-care and provide practical skills for integrating self-care into our lives.
Workshop Format: This workshop will be an informal conversational presentation on self-care, with discussion throughout, and at the end. There will also be worksheets for reflection and perhaps more discussion after this activity.
