Overview:
In this two-part audio conference participants will be introduced to new perspectives on self care.
Teaching Objectives:
- Grounding our understanding of self-care in Catholic theology
- Defining the terms “self” and “care” in a theological context
- Offering tools to determine what constitutes self-care for each of us
- Distinguishing ways of “being religious” that are self-care from ways of “being religious” that undermine care of ourselves (and hence our care of others)
Program Information:
Elizabeth and Mary began the two sessions with a presentation, followed by facilitated participant exchange. The participants qualify for up to 3 CEHs for the two sessions.
