To prepare:
- Review the Learning Resources on self-care and reflect on self-care as an ethical responsibility outlined in the NASW Code of Ethics.
- Consider the six domains of self-care and your practices and habits related to those domains, as well as future habits you want to initiate.
Post an explanation of why you think self-care has been officially added to the NASW Code of Ethics. What circumstances have led to this change? Then, describe the six domains of self-care. Identify your past self-care practices relative to each domain and the extent to which you consistently engage in these practices. Finally, explain at least one self-care activity that you will deliberately and consistently implement for the remainder of the course.
