In our free monthy Self-Care for Social Workers class, you will practice different stress-relieving skills with your peers.
- Classes are held once a month on Thursdays.
- The next dates are:
December 20, 2012 6:00PM-7:30PM
All classes can be taken separately, but space is limited. Register today for any date by sending an email to
gsssconted@fordham.edu.
*Periodically, we'll host a free, three-hour self care workshop will be provided to explain the signs and symptoms of burnout and vicarious trauma, and to share self care tools.
