Add to favourites

You Care and You Carry

Health and social care workers who also provide unpaid care to a family member, friend, or neighbour often face unique challenges as they navigate caregiving in both their work and personal lives. This webinar series will explore common topics including burnout, empathic strain, self-compassion, rest, and healthy boundaries through both workplace and personal caregiving lenses. Participants will gain practical tools, strategies, and resources to support their well-being, strengthen resilience, and sustain their ability to care for others.

Are you a manager or leader who supports caregivers on your team? We encourage you to share this opportunity with your teams and to support staff in taking time for this valuable professional development opportunity.

For flexibility, each webinar will be offered in both daytime and evening sessions, with the same content and key takeaways delivered in each.

Burnout

Recognize, address, and safeguard mental well-being by exploring the three components of burnout and the risk factors that can arise when supporting others both professionally and personally. Participants will examine protective factors and practical strategies to restore balance, build resilience, and sustain well-being across their caregiving roles.

Sessions are taking place on:

• Tuesday January 12th – 6:30-7:30pm
• Thursday January 14th – 12:00-1:00pm

Empathic Strain

Empathy is essential for health and social care workers and caregivers alike, and continually supporting others can be difficult to sustain. This webinar explores how empathic strain can emerge across both professional and personal caregiving roles and offers practical strategies for maintaining compassion while protecting your own well-being.

Sessions are taking place on:

• Wednesday February 3rd – 6:30-7:30pm
• Thursday February 4th – 12:00-1:00pm

Well-Being, Rest & Self-Compassion

Discover the power of Psychological Self-Care through practical strategies that strengthen self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-compassion. Participants will explore ways to incorporate rest and recovery into busy days while balancing the demands of caregiving at work and in their personal life.

Sessions are taking place on:

• Monday February 22rd – 6:30-7:30pm
• Thursday February 25th – 12:00-1:00pm

Boundaries

Balance and Support for Psychological Self-Care are key psychosocial factors that contribute to well-being in caregiving roles. This webinar introduces boundary work, an evidence-based tool that can help protect against burnout and empathic strain while supporting healthier, more sustainable caregiving relationships at work and in personal life.
