Working in the healing professions requires perseverance, patience, a unique set of skills, and a deep well of hope. Our ability to find sustainability is constantly being challenged by the nature of the work itself, the demands of managed care systems, the toll of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the weight of systemic injustices.
Our ability to find sustainability is further challenged when we are faced with clients who seek refuge from their suffering in self-harm, suicidal ideations, disordered eating, and addictions; who struggle to maximally benefit from offered care.
