"This workshop has essential information, it evoked many reflections on
personal and professional levels.  I came back to work with a new
critical perspective of how to identify burdens at work and how they
affect me. Tom and Becca had me hanging on every word."

Please join us for a refreshing day to include education, conversation, validation and connection with people who do your work, who ‘get’ you.  Hosted by Tom Regehr and Becca Partington of CAST Canada, together we will honour the complex and emotional burdens of your work, validate the ideas with plain language, gather individual strategies for coping and thriving as you grow and are changed by your work.

You will leave with:

• An understanding of empathy as a resource that can be depleted and refilled. Strategies to achieve balance.
• An awareness of various, distinct stressors, how to recognize and manage them.
• Grounding exercises to take into your work and personal life
• Better strategies for long term self care, burn out prevention and compassion fatigue resiliency
• An understanding that your approach to your work has more to do with the stress than the events.
• Validation of the emotions involved in doing your work
• A rejuvenated sense of wellbeing and hope

You are a frontline service provider, health or helping professional in any of the following areas: mental health, housing, employment, income support, Ontario Works, ODSP, shelters, outreach programs, addictions, sexual assault services, child protection/Children’s Aid Society, Acquired Brain Injury services, nursing and emergency room staff, at risk youth, community support services, probation and parole, private practice, etc.

Health Services Information

" Tremendously insightful. Compassionate. Valuable. CAST workshops introduced me to a safe, comfortable environment where I could move from the space in my head (knowledge) to the place
in my heart.  The information I receive from CAST  workshops cannot be found anywhere else.  The tools I have taken from these workshops have been tremendously useful in my walk with the women I support. I  feel as though I’m enveloped in a space where we can talk about the difficult places in our work in an open and honest way.  The workshop provides an opportunity to explore, and discuss and learn from the presenters and from each other.  I walk away from
the day feeling enriched and nourished."
