Self Care

Self care is not the easiest thing to do in times of stress.  We've compiled a simple list of things you can do which is below. 

               1.  Get plenty of rest.

               2.  Exercise.

               3.  Eat right.

               4.  Avoid alcohol and drugs.

               5. Talk to someone you trust. 

We've also put a downloadable pocket tool  with self care tips that was created by:

www.psychosocial.org or www.proqol.org
Beth Hudnall Stamm, Ph.D., ProQOL.org and Idaho State University
Craig Higson-Smith, M.A., South African Institute of Traumatic Stress
Amy C. Hudnall, M.A., ProQOL.org and Appalachian State University
Henry E. Stamm, Ph.D., ProQOL.org

They have encouraged folks to use it and print it as many as needed, just make sure you credit the authors.
