Self-Care Resources

WHAT IS SELF-CARE


According to the Self-Care Forum, Self-Care is "The actions that individuals take for themselves, on behalf of, and with others in order to develop, protect, maintain and improve their health, wellbeing or wellness." As adults, it becomes easy to ignore self-care in order to meet other's needs. We sometimes feel guilty for prioritizing ourselves over other commitments. However, it is crucial to engage in self-care so that we are available, emotionally and cognitively, to meet the needs of others. Our county prioritizes the mental health and physical well-being of our students and adults. We hope that these resources can support adults in their journey towards greater self-care.
