We know the holiday season is tough on clients due to factors such as negative family dynamics, the loss of a daily routine, financial pressures, etc., but it is also a very tough time for those in the mental health profession. Come join us during Safer Society’s “Safe Haven,” an online support session where mental health professionals can decompress and share their own best practices for working with clients around the holidays.
The work you do is difficult, and dealing with disabilities makes it harder still! These live online sessions provide a safe, non-threatening (and often fun!) space for professionals to discuss their challenges and connect with others who share similar experiences.
Led by Katie Gotch, a clinical professional who has personal experience with disabilities, and David Prescott, a mental health practitioner in the field for four decades, these online sessions will provide you with a rich, meaningful experience in a supportive environment.
The U.S. Surgeon General issued an advisory this year on the healing power of social connection and community. Technology has made it easier for us to stay connected, but we are facing more loneliness than ever. But there is hope. In his report, Dr. Vivek Murthy said, “each of us can start now, in our own lives, by strengthening our connections and relationships. Our individual relationships are an untapped resource—a source of healing hiding in plain sight. They can help us live healthier, more productive, and more fulfilled lives.” At Safer Society we believe in the benefits of cultivating connections and work to create networking opportunities for our community.
