Happy Thanksgiving! #Gratitude #SelfCare ✌🏾✌🏼💚 www.socialworker.com/feature-arti...

“I welcome any conversation about self-care! I’m thrilled it’s a more common topic and expertise is growing! I am alternately appreciative, amused, and concerned about some conversations that ensue when people new to the topic explain it to me.” ✌🏼✌🏾💚 www.socialworker.com/feature-arti...

When we hear toxic messages about self care, speak up (including self-talk!), take action, and actively counter them. Let’s commit ourselves—individually and collectively—to resist and reframe. ✌🏼✌🏾💚 www.socialworker.com/feature-arti...
