Learn practices to sustain yourself in the workplace.
SJPLA’s Community Care and the Workplace is a free five-week course for folks who work in the homeless response sector. We’ll discuss ways disconnection, burnout, and grief shows up in our work.
Through guided discussion, practices, and guest speakers, participants will build practices that offer care for themselves while being of service to our greater community. The course will explore community care strategies like healing justice framework, embodied mindfulness, council circle, and more.
We rarely address the mental, physical, and emotional toll of this work, felt most acutely by BIPOC workers, leading to burnout and attrition. Providing practices and tools to care for this workforce helps retain expert employees and renew their ability to care for their clients.
Learning Overview
We will identify unique ways to collectively invite wellbeing and community care practices in ourselves, our structures, and our work.
Week 1: Community Welcome & Introduction
Week 2: Council with Natalie Patterson of BEAM
Week 3: Wellbeing at Work
Week 4: Mindful Awareness
Week 5: Building a Practice
