Self-Care

What can we do differently?

Activity: Your values

Choose a card from the middle of the room that reflects your values

Have a think about why you chose that card – what meaning does it hold?

Discuss your choice with those sitting around you

What is work-life balance?• The boundary between your work, and everything outside of work

• How do I “get” more balance?

Are you using social supports (friends, colleagues, family)?
