Self-Care for Social Workers Workshop
March 14, 2024 - 3:00pm to 4:00pm
Self-care is a professional and ethical obligation for social workers. What does it look like to engage in regular, intentional, effective self-care? In this 60-minute workshop, led by Jamie Boschee, SSW Embedded CAPS Therapist, we will explore what self-care looks like in practice and share specific strategies to manage stress and improve well-being. Students who attend this session may count this workshop as field hours with approval from their field instructor.

Community Conversation: Combating Weight Stigma
March 14, 2024 - 7:00pm to 8:00pm
Human bodies we know to be size-diverse, yet sizeism pervades and persists. How does weight stigma and body image impact our relationship to ourselves and others? How might it impact those we serve, and even the colleagues around us? What is our role in influencing culture change? This is a time for conversation – to share feelings, raise concerns, and talk together as a school community. To aid the conversation, space will be limited. (We know it's coming up soon, so if you miss it, don't fear! If there is a lot of interest in this topic, we can hold another session soon.)
About the format: With these smaller Community Conversations, our hope is to explore restorative dialogue and build community, creating a space where we are all teachers and learners. We will draw heavily on practices from intergroup dialogue and restorative justice.
