When facing stressful and traumatic situations when working in healthcare, it can be hard to stop and think about self-care. Yet, self-care is critical for  protecting our mental health and well-being. It is important to consider your needs and to make them a priority. Consider the direction to apply your own oxygen mask first when on an airplane . . . before we can help anyone else, we must first help ourselves.

On this episode the podcast, the Sharp Best Health team offers self-care strategies for building resilience and reducing the risk of burnout and compassion fatigue.
