SELF-CARE FOR PROFESSIONALS WORKING WITH BABY LOSS
Too often, this topic is added on to the end of a course or workshop, so I've put it up the front this time! We'll talk about why self-care is so important for health and caring professionals who are supporting and caring for bereaved whānau, taking both local and international research into account. We'll also look at what self-care is and isn't - delving a bit deeper than bubble baths and a glass of wine! We'll talk about your Philosophy of Care and how that impacts your self-care.
