Francine Hernandez, National Clinical Seminar-East Coordinator, announces the theme for the Fall 2011 National Clinical Seminar: Compassion Fatigue: "Caring for Ourselves, Caring for Others".
NCTS-East will be held November 7 – 8, 2011 at the Stella Maris Retreat Center – Elberon, New Jersey.
Francine Hernandez expands on her thoughts about the theme she selected:
This presentation is reflective of CPSP theme: “Recovery of Soul”. The workshop presentations will focus ways for us as caregivers to understand the nature of our call to help others, and be present with and for them in the context of their individual needs and their individual stories. We, however, need to understand the importance of taking care of ourselves before we can take care of others.
This seminar also explores ways for caregivers to nourish themselves in order to be more effective in their professional roles and in their personal journey. We will also explore the role that attitude has on our health as well as on those we are called to care for.
We are pleased that Dr. Roy Gaton, D. Min. has accepted our invitation to be the Keynote speaker for this event.
As always, the core of the NCTS gathering is small group work focused on review and critique of clinical material. As such, all participants are expected to bring clinical cases to be shared in the small group experience.
