Self-Care for Youth Workers

Yesterday was International Self-Care Day – looking for ways to level up your understanding of and strategies for self-care? Temescal Associates and How Kids Learn Foundation recently released “Self-Care For Youth Workers,” a paper to raise understanding and awareness of the importance of self-care in afterschool programs. The paper provides definitions, shares a curated set of resources, and guides readers through crafting a self-care plan. This resource was designed with both organizational leaders (school leaders and staff, supervisors at the parent non-profit org, etc.) and program staff in mind, as they consider the best ways to promote self-care among youth worker staff.
