  Description

  As Counselor Educators, we have a crucial responsibility to ensure that the future counselors we train are capable of providing competent care to their clients. However, in our role as gatekeepers, we must prioritize our own self-care needs alongside the needs of our students, interns, advisees, mentees, and the community we serve. We must practice what we preach. As we progress in academia, business, government, or while providing supervision in community settings, we may encounter stress, anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, self-doubt, struggles with self-esteem, and broken relationships. It's time to take charge.

  It is imperative to determine whether their role is to assist supervisees in changing internally (within themselves) or externally (within their corporate or government world). Once their role as Counselor Educator is defined, it will be determined that their roles must allow sufficient time, energy, and space for their own self-care.

  In this presentation, Dr. Moore Reynolds will help Counselor Educators identify the best practices to take care of themselves while providing continuous support to their students, interns, advisees, mentees, and the community. This session is designed to address the self-care needs of the Counselor Educator. It's time to prioritize our own well-being and lead by example.

  Objectives

  1: Participants will be able to determine whether they are struggling in their roles as Counselor Educators and Gatekeepers in their academic and work environments.

  2: Participants will be able to clearly define their roles as Counselor Educators and Gatekeepers.

  3: Participants will create a customized self-care plan and ensure its implementation in their daily routines.
