Ready to lead your own workplace wellness revolution? This comprehensive session kit gives you everything you need to transform high-stress environments into supportive, resilient teams.
This interactive session kit is designed to support professionals in managing stress, overwhelm, burnout, and the emotional load that can come with complex helping work. The session combines a brief educational component with three Recreation Therapy-based experiential activities that connect the reported needs of caring professionals: self-care, working through overwhelm, communication, psychological safety, resilience, and feeling able to say, “I have done all I can.”
The session contains a brief presentation on self-care in high-stress helping work. This explores how stress and burnout can build when professionals are carrying heavy workloads, emotional responsibility, complex family situations, and outcomes they cannot always control.
The educational portion introduces the idea that self-care is not only something that happens outside of work. It also includes small, realistic practices during the workday that support regulation, emotional boundaries, communication, and team care
