 Here is a resource that was distributed during the February Sandbox hosted & facilitated by Emilia Autin-Hefner. How do you practice self-care? As an organization, what policies or practices do you offer? |  In January we spent time reflecting on 2019 and compiling our "Oh Sh*t, I did that" list (Thanks to Melissa A. Rowe for putting us on to this concept). And we looked ahead to 2020 and mapped out what we hoped and planned for the new decade. Feel free to download the worksheets! |
