Self-Care for Therapists: Strategies, Techniques & Ethics
 

Therapists of all types (psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, interventionists, etc.) are tasked with changing lives every day. In that experience, they must continuously address issues of therapeutic boundaries, ongoing ethical concerns, and avoiding burnout, all the while keeping up-to-date on the latest guidelines, care strategies, and trends.

Join Addiction Professional as we examine how therapists can be more effective, energized, and engaged in their careers. Upon attending this presentation, attendees will be able to:

• Identify strategies for preventing and handling professional burnout
• Implement techniques to invigorate theirs and colleagues’ passion for the field
• Discuss the latest ethical issues facing professionals of all types.

One hour of continuing education credit will be available.
