About This Webinar

Join AFT’s Share My Lesson for this free, for-credit webinar to support your health and well-being, part of our 2024 Wellness Series

In the demanding area of education, where educators bear the weight of not only imparting knowledge but also nurturing the future generation, prioritizing their well-being is paramount. The holistic approach to self-care, as highlighted in this free, for-credit webinar, recognizes that educators often face overwhelming stressors and responsibilities. It emphasizes the importance of addressing every facet of their well-being, encompassing the physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual dimensions.

By delving into these aspects of self-care, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to nurture their overall wellness. The webinar equips educators with invaluable tools to not only recognize the signs of teacher burnout but also to proactively combat it. Moreover, it offers a diverse range of strategies tailored to each individual, enabling them to create a personalized wellness plan that fosters resilience, balance, and a renewed sense of purpose in their crucial roles as educators. Ultimately, this holistic approach to self-care empowers educators to thrive both personally and professionally, thereby enhancing their ability to educate America's youth effectively.

Me Time
I created a Self-Care Menu, and when I get overwhelmed, I pull it out and choose an activity or two. I choose activities based on which area of my life feels off balanced or which part of my spirit needs nurturing. I Co-Host a Podcast called Fly With Us. We post a daily Self-Care Assignment on our social media platforms and those are what I use to create my menu. I would advise everyone to create a menu that has activities from all of the domains of self-care. There are eight domains of self-care: physical, psychological, emotional, social, professional, environmental, spiritual, and financial. Creating your menu using all of them ensures that you have a variety of ways to nurture yourself and restore balance. I would also suggest that you choose activities that require various amounts of time and/or money to help eliminate barriers if you don’t have a lot of either. Self-Care works best when you choose activities that don’t feel like a chore and change your menu when it feels like one.

Inspiration and a Timely Reminder
Really enjoyed this. Particularly the reminder of the importance of taking care of ourselves so we can take care of others. It seems teaching all over the world is experiencing the same issues, with numbers resigning and fewer deciding to take on this profession. What has gone so wrong.

Holistic Approach to Self Care
This was a very relaxing the reflective presentation. My only wish was that more strategies, proven effective, were shared. Most of the strategies came from the participants. Not always sure if they are the most effective.
