THIS IS A TWO-PART TRAINING. PARTICIPANTS MUST ATTEND BOTH SESSIONS (Session 1 on August 19 and Session 2 on August 20).

This module recognizes self-care is not one size fits all.  We explore culturally responsive self-care strategies and the importance of educator self-care to goals of social justice and equity.
