Introduction to self-care resources
Without a focus on self-care, demands from school-life might result in compassion fatigue. This could look like feeling disconnected to your role, or feeling unable to be fully present in the moment.

Explore some elements of self-care below. Take a moment to ask yourself: What areas do you succeed in? Which could you focus on more often?
