Everyone needs a safe space to be themselves. Schools and families rely on mental health providers such as school counselors, social workers, mental health consultants, therapists, and school psychologists to provide those spaces during times of stress and upset, but these dedicated professionals aren’t immune to compassion fatigue, stress and upset themselves. Conscious Discipline has provided spaces for these kinds of caregivers for close to 30 years through events, eCourses, books and other materials and resources. Whether you are new to Conscious Discipline or a seasoned practitioner, we’ve cultivated a list of useful resources to help mental health professionals like you access the support you need.
