Recharge and reflect: self-care and development in practice

Self-care and reflective practice are key to co-regulation and relationship building for early years practitioners and those in caring professions. This is why we’re bringing you this free, interactive and thought-provoking virtual event to support your CPD as well as your personal development. What will be covered and what will you gain from this online event? We know that as a practitioner, self-care isn’t always top of your list as you’re often too busy caring for others to take time out for yourself. The popular self-care mantra “you can’t pour from an empty cup” is especially true for those in caring roles and we’re here to support you to develop this positive skill. This interactive, virtual event will frame self-care as a fundamental responsibility for early years and social care practitioners’, and support you to find new ways to put yourself first and unwind.  You’ll leave the event with an understanding of how wellbeing affects your work, how looking after yourself might work in practice and to how to better understand the frameworks for staff wellbeing within care and early years settings.
Get top quality advice and knowledge from experts in the sector who will equip you with valuable and practical self-care skills for your toolkit, in times where we all need more tools to work with!
