In our inaugural podcast episode, I chat with Dr. Peggy Swarbrick, Research Professor and Associate Director of the Center of Alcohol & Substance Abuse Use Studies at Rutgers University. 

She has worked for 25 years as the Director of the Collaborative Support Programs of New Jersey Wellness Institute. Recently Dr. Swarbrick developed a Wellness Training Learning Collaborative (W-TLC) designed to support the wellness of the workforce and is a collaborator on peer support models for healthcare professionals and educators to prevent burnout.

 Learn about: 

• The connection between prioritizing educator wellness and centering the needs of students and families
• How identity plays a role in the 8-dimensions of wellness
• How our wellness habits impact our brain, emotions, perspective, etc
• What the relationship between self-care and burnout looks like
