Part of the 's , this presentation by Dr. Dilys Brooks, Chaplain, is a transformative workshop designed for mental health professionals who consistently prioritize their clients' well-being while neglecting their own need for deep restoration and renewal. Through an experiential exploration of rest as a radical act of self-preservation, participants will examine how systemic pressures and professional demands create barriers to authentic rest, particularly for clinicians from marginalized communities. The workshop equips mental health professionals with evidence-based strategies to reclaim rest as essential to their clinical sustainability, professional longevity, and personal well-being, moving beyond surface-level self-care to embrace rest as a fundamental right and necessity.

It is a mix of presentation and discussion, and is sponsored by the School of Behavioral Health.
