Caregivers and helping professionals often give so much to others that their own well-being can take a back seat. This Lunch & Learn session explores practical ways to recognize and manage vicarious trauma and stress, build healthy professional boundaries, and use peer support strategies to stay resilient in demanding roles. Participants will gain simple, realistic self-care tools they can apply immediately to protect their mental health, prevent burnout, and continue providing compassionate care while also caring for themselves. 🌱
