About This Webinar
When the world shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, mental health professionals stepped up. Not only did the pandemic alter mental health delivery models but it also complicated the struggle mental health professionals face to balance their personal and professional lives. For optimal personal and professional effectiveness, mental health professionals should continuously reflect on their own performance, set good boundaries, utilize coping skills, and remain self-aware, being alert for signs of burnout, compassion fatigue, and second-hand depression. During this webinar, we explore and reflect on what it can look like for the mental health professional, which can include other family support providers, to take care of themselves while working with service members and military families.
