Workplace Wellbeing Course: Compassionate Self-Care For Working Parents
As we enter yet another year of uncertainty with continued changes in our work practices, workplace wellbeing is more important now than ever.
As a clinical psychologist and parent to two girls, I often find the demands of working and parenting a real juggle, one in which I have had to dig deep into my self-care toolbox to enable me to give to my job and my family life in a 'good enough' way.
I understand the challenges being a working parent, which can often shake our sense of balance and wellbeing.
For that reason, I was delighted to create the 'Compassionate self-care for working parents' course, where I share the science behind self-compassion in counter-balancing our threat-focused brains, as well as tried and tested psychological tools to help parents feel replenished and better able to give their 'good enough' selves to their working and parenting roles.
Using a compassionate approach has been shown to lower stress, anxiety and low mood, while improving self-worth and resilience. My hope for 2022 is that I can help working parents to experience a more fulfilled work-life balance which truly aligns with their values.
