CLINICIAN SELF-CARE SATURDAYS
“Taking care of yourself doesn't mean 'me first', it means me too.” — L.R. Knost
At A New Hope Academy, we believe that the well-being of clinicians is just as important as the well-being of your clients. Our Multiverse of Mindfulness: Clinician Self-Care Saturdays series is designed to give clinicians the tools they need to practice sustainable self-care, build resilience, and prevent burnout.

Reserve your spot for this transformative workshop and set yourself up for a year of mindfulness, growth, and resilience.
"I truly enjoyed this activity and feel a lot of gratitude toward Maria and Jessica for creating this space for practitioners. I never been to a conference in which this level of vulnerability was not only welcomed, it was normalized. This experience gave me everything I did not know I needed! "
— SITH Attendee, Broken Bowl
