Microaggression

Microaggressions can be a challenge to identify and call out. They are not always so apparent, especially when calling someone out. It is good to be aware of this in our practice, towards clients, other service providers, or said to us. I have witnessed the majority of these microaggressions and it can be challenging to find the voice needed to interrupt. This does a fabulous job putting visuals to an issue that is not always seen or heard.

Have you noticed these in your practice or personal life? What would you do if you witnessed microaggressions?

Take a Break

The unpredictability of funds can influence and impact programs, agencies, services, providers, supplies, HUMANS and everything in between. Unfortunately for me, funding has been pulled and I find myself an unemployed service provider. I am hoping this time off will provide me with the relaxation that seems to escape during working life. Self Care will be the focus as I proceed with the much dreaded job hunt. My goal is to start a new position with healthy boundaries and self care practices in place that will support my longevity in the field. What do you do for self care and burnout prevention?
