Two-Part Self-Care Workshop for CASA Supervisors
Please join the STAR team (former VCA) in kicking off the FY24 Monthly Zoom Series with a September two-part workshop to discuss “What is Self-Care Anyway?!” Vicarious trauma and burnout is prevalent as a CASA supervisor. The goal of this two-part workshop is to provide CASA supervisors with helpful tools for investing in self-care.
On Monday, September 11 and Monday, September 25, we will welcome three special guests to guide our conversations. These guests will give us practical, usable information and strategies to develop our own Self-Care Map. Dr. Costello’s workshop came highly recommended to us after she presented to the local CASA program in Temple. We promise, you won’t want to miss this!
PS – You do not have to attend both sessions. Join for either Part 1, Part 2 or both!
