SUMMARY:Webinar: Taking Care of Yourself - Utilizing Self Care Strategies to Address Stress and Burnout
DESCRIPTION:Working with individuals with tobacco use disorder and helping them to start living a tobacco-free life can be very rewarding. It can also be challenging and frustrating at times. Although many providers in healthcare are familiar with the concept of self-care\, that is\, paying attention to your own mental\, physical\, and spiritual selves\, and indeed encourage their clients or patients to embrace the concept\, some may find it a challenge to put the concept into practice in their own lives. In this webinar\, we will explore some of the ways that providers can make it a priority to walk the walk and model self-care for their clients and patients\, and we will discuss how to use supervision to effectively deliver evidenced-based tobacco interventions. \nPresenter: Edward Perka Jr\, CASAC\, ICADC\, NCTTP – Tobacco Treatment Educator\, MaineHealth Center for Tobacco Independence\nView additional webinar opportunities from the 2019-2020 series and access archived webinars.
