Self-care is a core competency for psychologists, and is essential for maintaining personal wellbeing and professional effectiveness. This session will explore the importance of self-care in preventing burnout, managing stress, and fostering resilience in the demanding field of psychology. 

You will learn how to identify signs of stress and burnout in yourself and others, understand the unique challenges psychologists face in prioritising self-care, and explore strategies for integrating self-care into your daily lives. The session will also emphasise ethical obligations for self-care as part of sustaining professional competence and the ability to provide high-quality care to clients. 

Through facilitated discussion and interactive activities, you will reflect on your current self-care practices, identify potential barriers, and develop personalised self-care plans to support your long-term wellbeing.
