Restorative Practices for Counselors by Michelle Crossley, Ph.D and Coral Brown, LMHC

8:30-9:00am - Registration and Buffet Breakfast

9:00am-12:00pm - 3 hour Presentation

Description

This seminar will highlight the importance of self-care for mental health professionals. As the mental health crisis has evolved, so has our work. We are tasked with long days and even longer wait lists. To survive and thrive as counselors, we must take time for ourselves.

The presenters will encourage attendees to explore the varying challenges that can impair our motivation to continue doing this work. Attendees will engage in active practices that can be used throughout the week and even in between sessions while also solidifying the material through self-practice/self-reflection activities as described by Bennett-Levy and Haarhoff (2019). Participants will also be introduced to 5NP ear acupuncture and interested individuals can engage in this evidence-based stress-relieving technique.
