The Art of Self Care - Burning Bright without burning out

Parenting is an awesome responsibility that demands time and effort. Taking care of children’s needs often becomes a high priority to the extent that parents forget about attending to their own needs. But giving too much can burn parents out and cause them to be less effective in their parenting roles. Parents who are healthier raise children who are secure, confident and competent. To this end, parental self-care is crucial. The aim of this workshop is to equip participants on the importance as well as the strategies and practical handles of self-cares so that they can burn brightly without burning out.
