Introduction

Compassion fatigue, burnout and secondary traumatic stress can occur when working with displaced persons in complex situations, and it is essential to recognise what these look like. Self-care is any activity we do deliberately to take care of our mental, emotional and physical health. It "refuels us, rather than takes from us.” This course will focus on developing an understanding of what self-care is, recognising stress and providing strategies to manage self-care.

Aims

The aim of this course is to explore the role of self-care for rehabilitation professionals working with displaced persons.
