Please join us on February 22nd  for a webinar by Dr. Frank D’Attilio: "Self-care of Mental Health Professionals: Taking care of ourselves". This webinar will run from 12-1pm EST. All are welcome to attend! 

This presentation will address mental health professionals’ propensity to give less of a priority to their own self-care when working with others.  Emphasis will be placed on how they can become more mindful of this shortcoming and employ strategies and interventions for change.

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

• Become familiar with the signs and symptoms of distress or burnout in themselves
• Become familiar with some of the strategies and intervention for self-help
• Learn how to identify when it is time for them to consult professional mental health treatment for themselves

This event is part of our series focused on “Mental Health Self-Care During the COVID-19 Pandemic for Health Care Workers and First Responders” and will be presented in collaboration with the Massachusetts Mental Health Center GrandRounds series.
