Mental health providers and social service workers often grapple with the push-pull of individual and community needs. While valiant and noble work, such service members may be vastly outnumbered by social, safety, and health needs, and struggle to meet demands that promote healing and thriving. Employing community care strategies leverages client(s) and client community strengths to support one another and the broader community. The purpose of this talk is to present community care as the next evolution of self-care and position care providers as empowering and collaborative agents of change.
