Regardless of what persistence we may have, it is important to practice self-care. Practicing self-care is not showing weakness, but rather renewing our strengths. Burnout due to stress, compassion fatigue, and secondary trauma are all damaging ramifications that will alter our effectiveness as school counselors.

There is extreme importance in identifying the need for self-care. As school counselors, we are providing services to students who are looking to us to help them. If we are unable to effectively help them due to burnout, compassion fatigue, or stress, we are ultimately failing them. In the end, if we are not giving our best self to our students, we are not fulfilling our role a school counselor.

Self-Care Strategies that I would be interested in would be focusing on physical health and setting boundaries. Exercising, eating foods that provide nutrients, and a good nights rest can reduce stress and burnout. Setting professional boundaries for myself, such as trying to leave the mental capacity of work at work, and not answering emails at home would help in reducing burnout.
