Discuss self-care strategies that each team member uses. Include, where appropriate, self-care strategies in relation to personal, family, student, or work areas. Examples might include stress reduction or stress management techniques and methods used to avoid burnout.
Write a 750- to 1,050-word paper that addresses the following:
- Compare your self-care strategies to those of your teammates. What are some similarities and differences?
- Are there strategies shared by your teammates that are new to you and that you would like to incorporate into your own life?
- In self-care, it is important to know what does not work for you just as much as what does work. Are there strategies teammates use you would never try? Why?
- What knowledge have you picked up from your discussions that you could use to help clients?
- Based on your discussion, develop a self-care strategy to reduce stress while working as a human services professional.
