Self-care for health workers S6E45

Speak Up

In this week’s episode, members of SPA’s early career and podcast reference groups, Brittany Fong and Lauren Osborne, speak with Mental Health Occupational Therapist and Psychotherapist, Michelle Bihary, about the mental and emotional “wear and tear” that can occur in healthcare and how speech pathologists can manage this. They discuss the “4 Ps” of self-care, supports and supervision, managing our energy, and navigating circles of control, influence, and concern.
