Self-Care Covenant
Train-the-Trainer Workshop
December 1-2, 2009 (Cancelled)
Event Invitation
Anyone who has attended a Self-Care Covenant Workshop is invited to participate in a Train-the-Trainer Workshop hosted by the General Board of Pension and Health Benefits (General Board), December 1-2, 2009, at the Renaissance Chicago O’Hare Suites in Chicago, Illinois.
The goal of this training program is, at the conclusion of the event, for you to be able to lead a Self-Care Covenant Workshop and help improve the health and well-being of the clergy and laity in your own annual conference or local church congregation.
Pre-requisite: In order to attend the Train-the-Trainer Workshop, you must have attended a Self-Care Covenant Workshop and kept a self-care covenant for a minimum of 90 days.
Self-Care Covenant Workshop—What Is It?
As leaders within The UMC, we are constantly faced with choices that either enhance or detract from overall health and well-being. When we are not healthy in body, mind, and spirit, we are less than what God intended us to be, and less available to do the work to which God called us. Participants (you) attending the Train-The-Trainer Workshop will leave equipped to lead the Self-Care Covenant Workshop in your conference, and help others experience a private journey of self-assessment in all aspects of health, leaving with a self-care covenant and plan for improvement.
The Self-Care Covenant Workshop format was developed and tested in the Kansas conferences. The General Board has recently been licensed as the official distributor of this workshop by the Kansas United Methodist Health Ministry Fund in Hutchinson, Kansas.
This training session is led by:
Judy Johnston, MS, RD/LD, Research Instructor, Department of Preventive Medicine and Public Health, University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita
Event Information
The Train-the-Trainer Workshop begins with breakfast at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, December 1 and concludes at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, December 2.
