Aligned: Strategies for Building Personal and Professional Wellness (WNBC1015)

Presented by the Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program

Speaker Introduction by Dr. David Capuzzi

Generally recognized for emotional resilience, helping professionals are now facing even more complex mental and physical hardships in the face of COVID-19. Counseling professionals experience emotional exhaustion, which may lead to clinical errors, lack of empathy in treating clients, lower productivity, and higher turnover rates. Counselors, educators, and supervisors need to learn to both recognize signs of these hardships as well as learn to implement strategies to avoid poor outcomes, burnout, and compassion fatigue. Participants will self-assess current levels of stress and be introduced to strategies for promoting wellness and self-care among helping professionals.

By the end of this webinar, participants will:

Self-assess stress and gain increased understanding of our bodies’ physical and neurologic reactions to these stressors
Be able to name and recognize one or more signs of hardship which impact personal and professional wellness.
Be able to select and implement one or more strategies to promote wellness and self-care in both personal and professional roles.
