Life is full of adjustments and bouncing back from a pandemic has been one of our greatest examples. People working in caring professions, report feeling somewhat burnt-out and end their workday feeling wired and tired. There’s nothing wrong with you! Let’s review what is needed now. To take care of our mental health going forward, there are skills and strategies that can help us thrive now and recover in the future. This skill-building workshop is focused on how to gain stability after uncertainty, the importance of closing the stress loop, and will help you to build your personal toolkit for ending the burnout cycle. From the best of neuroscience, learn the practical and portable skills for those who want to better understand resilience and change small habits that have immediate positive impacts on our energy, productivity, and joy.

In this interactive and dynamic workshop, participants will learn:
• Pandemic impacts on mental health – where to from here?
• Bottom-up skills for stress resilience (how involving the body is a game-changer)
• Top-down strategies for transforming worry from uncertainty (so that you can sleep better)
• The important shift from work-life balance to work-life boundaries
• The role of mindfulness and compassion in recovery and thriving
• Top actions for positive mental health and resilient teams (how we can help ourselves and each other).

SUITABLE FOR ALL EARLY LEARNING AND CHILD CARE PROFESSIONALS
