Strong links exist between psychologists’ self-care and competent, sustainable practice. Participants in this intermediate workshop explore methods for integrating self-care and colleague care, starting with a comprehensive self-assessment. Complex ethical and multicultural vignettes that draw from the current pandemic context are used to identify and incorporate effective strategies to enhance self-care. The presenters also discuss the role of communitarian care in maintaining professional competence and joyful practice. Participants explore adaptations of evidence-based self- and communitarian-care strategies that include intellectual, emotional, physical, cultural, and spiritual dimensions. Original webcast date: August 12, 2021
