CPD Hours: 1

The aim of this presentation is to talk about the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on our lives, what tools and techniques we may be able to employ to ‘mind’ and ‘take care’ of ourselves in response to our lived experience presently. The material will cover aspects of self-care and stress management both personally and professionally.

A consideration of what might help us manage a bit better, develop our awareness around coping skills with an eye on self-compassion and internal kindness at this time.
