Running on Empty: The Ethics of Self-Care

Online registration is available until: 8/25/2026

Depending on our role, we expect clients to learn and use skills for growth, and development, yet few professionals have been trained in or use practice skills to reduce STS symptoms resulting from helping work. Professional accountability demands we do better for ourselves and those we serve! This two part workshop helps meet licensure ethics requirements and asks the question: do we have an ethical responsibility to attend to our own wellness? The interactive first 90min session includes research findings, guidelines from professional codes and group conversation and explores our professional responsibility if we observe STS impacts with a colleague. Part 2 fills the gap and supports our STS reduction through an overview of 5 evidence-informed skills from a model (CE-CERT) with clinical outcomes data for reducing STS impacts and highlights the role of supervisors in safeguarding the well-being of supervisees from a self-care/ethics perspective.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Analyze ethical code guidelines for professional self-care

  2. Critique the concept that we have an ethical obligation to address our own wellness

  3. Assess the 5 core CE-CERT Skills for reducing workplace stress Write a personal plan for one or more skill they choose to implement
