Self-care plans should be individualized and include practices and strategies that are relevant/important to you! What works for one person may not work for another. What worked for you last year may not work this year or next. Revise your self-care plans, practices, and strategies as needed.
We encourage you to listen to the latest episode of the Justice to Healing podcast The Whys of Self-Care in Treatment Courts with guest Dr. Sally MacKain, Clinical Psychologist & Professor of Psychology.
We also hope you will join us on NDCRC’s Beyond the Field discussion board https://discussion.ndcrc.org for dialogue about self-care in general and we would love to hear about the self-care strategies you’ve identified for yourself, questions you have, etc.
