Join Tim and Alex as they discuss how to practically incorporate self-care into your professional practice before, during, and after your work with TEXP clients by structuring one’s clinical practice around self-care principles, maintaining a ‘low trauma diet’, and considering adopting a ‘self-care lifestyle’ as a standard part of being a TExP clinician. Building on and expanding the BETR model from Introduction to Working with Trauma Exposed Professionals (TExP), Tim and Alex’s collegial and conversational approach encourages us to take the same care with ourselves as we do with our clients.

This course has been designed for healthcare providers in an effort to highlight the unique work environments that are considered routine for those who serve in our Canadian Armed Forces and Public Safety professions. The course will increase learner competencies in the Military/PSP – Civilian Divide, Military/PSP culture and will provide culturally specific clinical approaches to support the complex mental health needs of those who serve Canada at home and abroad.
