Self-care is a critical tool to maintain our wellness and work-life balance. Even under normal circumstances, it can be difficult to prioritize self-care. But now, more than ever, it’s important for systems-involved youth and the mental health field to pause and be intentional about addressing physical, emotional, spiritual, and relational needs.
