This recorded workshop focuses on the importance of actionable strategies for managing self-care while serving as a youth peer provider. Centered in a holistic definition of self-care that meets each of SAMHSA’s eight dimensions of wellness, the session can help each peer understand the value and impact of self-care in their peer role. This topic is of importance to the peer workforce because a strong practice of self-care can counteract experiences of burnout and overwhelm in peer positions.

Shayn McDonald and Tymber Hudson of Youth MOVE National co-presented in this online workshop that holds space for reflection and actionable strategies, including journaling and self-care resources.
