CEUs: PPAB 1, CCPDT 1, IAABC 1, KPA 1

While the systems we live and work in must change to prevent and address burnout, our bodies cannot wait for this change to occur. We know that self-care is important to sustain ourselves but what we don’t always know is how to actualize it.

This session will introduce you to The PRIME Framework, an approach I’ve developed to describe the elements of a successful self-care plan. You will leave with concrete and comprehensive tools that you can begin integrating into your life immediately to reap both short and long-term benefits. Come and learn how to revitalize your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual energy to thrive, not just survive!
