We work in environments rooted in generational and systemic trauma compounded by racism, oppression, and social injustice. In order to effectively succeed as practitioners, we must possess a sustainable wellness practice. We will explore a culturally grounded self-care plan developed for field students, supporting their wellness practice as emerging professionals.

Learning Objectives:

1. Participants will understand the importance of establishing culturally-grounded self-care practices for higher education students.
2. Through interactive activities participants will reflect on their self-care frameworks for their students and their self-care needs.
3. Through interactive activities participants will identify how they can appropriately incorporate wellness practices with their students and for themselves.
