Wellness in the Woods
A Day of Self-Care in Nature for Mental Health Professionals
As mental health professionals, we don't always take time for ourselves or honor our own needs for self-care. Join us for a day to unplug, reconnect with nature, network with other professionals, and practice self-care techniques.
What to expect:
As everyone arrives, we will begin the day with coffee, tea, & snacks and mindfulness/grounding in nature.
Some quiet time just for you!
We will gather in small groups to process that time and spend time collaborating on client care with a guided discussion about self-care.
To prepare - think about what you hear from clients about self-care, what trends do you notice in media, and what are ways you feel we can better support clients with improving self-care in their daily lives.
Lunch will be provided
Or you can bring your own!
In the afternoon, we will practice self-care activities in nature.
You will be guided through specific activities aimed at lowering stress, connecting with nature, and improving overall mental health. Which will hopefully be beneficial to your personal mental health first and foremost!
& then you'll be able to use or share these activities with your clients or with loved ones!
Who can attend?
Anyone who works with people on improving their mental health! Therapists, social workers, coaches, nurses, etc. are welcome!
We know Cadiz, KY is a bit of a drive! Part of the goal of this event is to get out of the city and fully immerse ourselves in nature. To leave it all behind and fully dive into self-care.
If you're interested in carpooling from Nashville, send Ashley an email at ashleyboerger@theestuary.org, and we'll be glad to help you connect with others interested in riding together.
This type of self-care is something I practice often. It's something that greatly benefits me, and I'm really excited to share it with other professionals! -Ashley
