Treat yourself.

Youth demand a lot of us – our undivided attention, our support, our interaction, our guidance – all while being kind and firm and fun! 

When working with youth we often forget to take care of ourselves. But if we don’t invest in self-care, we can burn-out and become less kind, less firm and no fun at all!

Here are a few affordable ways you can honor your commitment to changing the lives of young people by changing the way you take care of yourself!
