As a scholar-practitioner, she brings both clinical experience and research training to her work, with the goal of helping organizations support the people who do the important work of caring for others.

About this class
Life is full of opportunities to share our light with others. However, sharing our light without becoming burned out can be challenging. This session will focus on how we tend to our well-being so that we can engage in our family life, church service, and other demands without overextending ourselves.
