Event Description: The 2022 Because We Care workshop will focus on the impact self-care has on how health care professionals interact with patients, families and colleagues. We will also discuss various ways to support families after the loss of a pregnancy/baby/child.
“Self-care is never a selfish act - it is simply good stewardship of the only gift I have, the gift I was put on earth to offer others. Anytime we can listen to true self and give the care it requires, we do it not only for ourselves, but for the many others whose lives we touch.” ? Parker Palmer
