Self-Care, Healing, and Equity-Responsive Practices for When the World Feels Heavy Deb Norris

Special Topics: Afterschool ,
Sponsor: Vermont Afterschool Inc
Instructor: Dr. Dena Simmons

In this session, we will explore self-care strategies as a way to cope with isolation, uncertainty, and the collective traumas of COVID-19 and our country’s reckoning with race. We will also reflect on what is causing our burnout as a way to tackle it with relevant emotion regulation and self-care strategies. As we plan for the start of summer, we will discuss how best to meet the needs and demands of former and current students who expressed harm done at school/district, plans for creating systemic change, and anti-racist practices to ensure equity and to facilitate healing in the midst of multiple pandemics.
