Self-care of Mental Health Professionals: Taking care of ourselves

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

Upon completion of this activity, participants were 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
