Working in Healthcare can be exciting, meaningful, life-changing and it can come with emotional, mental and physical costs. Self-care is the foundation of the care we offer others, and yet many healthcare workers (and the organizations we work for) undervalue the need to take time for self-expression, restoration, and shared witnessing in community with other people who understand the unique challenges of this field.
This group is designed for supporting healthcare workers (including mental healthcare) and other front-line workers with creative practices to:
• Reduce burnout and create safe space in your environment
• Express and release difficult experiences
• Make time for your full self and rebuild a healthy relationship with your "why"
Weeks 1-4 will utilize art therapy as a modality for: setting intentions, processing difficult interactions, setting healthy boundaries, creating safer spaces, and cultivating resilience.
Weeks 5-8 will invite us to dive deeper utilizing art therapy to explore questions such as: grief, trauma exposure, navigating overwhelm and burnout, and envisioning a healthcare system that works for everyone.
