The truly effective and happy carers are those who know how to take care of themselves.
They are aware of their own needs and how to address these needs in order to prevent burnout. Knowing how to do this leads to one being more compassionate and attuned to the needs of others.
Taking care of others is not easy. Psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, counselors, coaches, community organizers, teachers and parents know how difficult and stressful this can be.
How do we go on being MINDFUL carers in spite of the many responsibilities we need to do in our hurried lives?
In this talk, foremost Filipino Psychologist and best selling author Dr. Honey Carandang, shares how one can BALANCE taking care of yourself and taking care of others. In her book, Back to Basics: The Seven Basic Psycholological Needs, she emphasizes that BALANCE is the key to emotional and spiritual well-being.
Join us as we listen and learn! Let us all build a caring community together!
