Self-care - Indulgence or necessity?

A Worth Publishing/  CourseWeDo webinar to start the new term with trainer, ex-Virtual School head, Director of Attuned Education and author of Overcoming Barriers to Learning and Make it Magnificent, Sheila Mulvenney .

Sheila will be focussing on what stops us prioritising self-care and wellbeing, whilst in the thick of caring for everyone else, not only during times of Tiers and Covid ... what self-talk are we holding onto?  

Is self-care selfish, an indulgence? Part of New Year Resolutions which quickly fall apart when reality bites? 

Or, is self-care actually a necessity, a responsibility even, if we want to be genuinely resilient? 

And beyond the tiny things that give us momentary lifts: what are the elements we could consider central to making sure we have a comprehensive and lasting resourcebank?
