In a time of disruption, grief, and growing demands on those who serve others, many care providers are feeling stretched beyond what traditional self-care can support. In this webinar, Dr. Michael Kearney introduces Self-Care 2.0—a deeper, integrated approach to resilience that goes beyond surface-level practices. Participants will explore how to stay grounded, openhearted, and effective while continuing to serve others in a complex and wounded world.
