Self-Care Covenant Workshops

Self-Care Covenant Workshops are interactive sessions where attendees evaluate personal dimensions of health and well-being related to their daily life and work. The workshops, which are planned and led by trainers within the annual conferences, provide a structured opportunity for individuals to examine their current choices within the areas of:

• physical health,
• social health,
• mental/emotional health, and
• spiritual health.

During Self-Care Covenant Workshops, participants will:

• make the connections among spiritual, mental, social, and physical health.
• discuss how Servant Leadership requires self-care.
• experience stress management techniques and learn how to say, "No."
• discuss recommendations for eating, physical activity, water, sleep and how to personally implement those recommendations.
• self-assess current health behaviors and choices.
• develop a self-care covenant with an accountability plan.
• understand how social well-being affects overall health.

Workshops are currently being held across the United States. We encourage all clergy and lay workers to participate in these special events.
