Description
Workshop Blurb:
Although meaningful work, like that of an interpreter, can be an incredibly rewarding part of your life, such work may also lead to challenges to your wellbeing through burnout and stress, especially when navigating the challenges of COVID. This workshop aims to help support you with these challenges through skills in emotional agility, boundaries and self-care, and specific strategies to promote wellbeing through connection to values and what is important to you. This will also be discussed within the context of processing the specific challenges of the last 2 years and the challenges that continue.
