Self-care for Aboriginal Workers (Part A & B) – 2 Sessions
Self-care for Aboriginal workers is vitally important to not only manage individual health and resilience but also to prevent stress and burnout. Managing multiple layers of relationships with families, communities and workplaces can result in added pressures and responsibilities, creating an emotional labour which can impact on health.

Delivered in two parts, part A introduces self-care, the role of an Aboriginal worker, including Cultural strengths as well as challenges faced in the workplace. Part B focuses on a self-assessment of current self-care, as well as strategies to create a self-care plan incorporating cultural wellbeing.
