This workshop explores the ethics of self-care and the differences between compassion fatigue, secondary trauma, and burn out. Participants will set an intention, experience guided imagery, make art, and participate in a simple yoga practice. Finally, participants will explore how self-care work can be shared with art therapy consumers.
