SOAR Webinar: Caring for Ourselves While Caring for Others - Wellness for SOAR Case Workers

Have you ever felt like you are running on fumes with the check engine light on? If so, this webinar is for you! 

The SAMHSA SOAR TA Center knows the position of a SOAR practitioner can be overwhelming due to high caseloads, reviewing medical records, interviewing applicants with significant trauma histories, and working from home. Given these demands, SOAR practitioners can struggle with their own mental health, exhaustion, compassion fatigue, stress, and even burnout. 

Presenters from the SAMHSA SOAR TA Center, SOAR Leads, and other experts will provide practical strategies to reduce stress and burnout, and promote overall workplace wellness. Presenters will demonstrate self-care techniques such as Meditation, Mindful Breathing, and Movement with chair yoga. We will also ask you to share your self-care routines so others can fill up their wellness tanks!
