That's a wrap on our Directors Wellness Retreat! We are grateful to our dynamic workshop facilitators for spending time with our network discussing workplace wellness strategies to reduce burnout and secondary traumatic stress!
Our Board Member, Kevin McNeil, opened the retreat by "Sounding the Alarm" on workplace wellbeing and recommitting to our calling.
Dr. Andrea Stinson, with Resilient Georgia, took directors through a Community Resiliency Model Workshop, introducing six wellness skills to bring the body, mind, and spirit back into greater balance.
Helena LaBarbera, a certified sound healer, immersed directors in a soothing sound bath.
We ended the day with a charge from Dr. Keisha Buchanan, with Next Step Counseling, to not only lead well but live well. Her workshop helped us examine personal and organizational risk factors, practice realistic wellness strategies, and develop an actionable plan for building a healthier workplace culture.
We are inspired by the CAC leaders who took time away from their busy centers to learn, connect, and unwind. Thank you for taking the time to pour into yourselves. ✨
