Unconditional Positive Regard Begins With You! - Self Care

After 30-some years in the field of crisis intervention and I&R being both supervised and supervising the presenter realized he was probably the reason for self care existed.  It was this introspection that lead to this workshop.  While those of us in the I&R field may not know it, the listening skills and the concepts of being nonjudgmental, respectful and empowering central to the I&R Process have their foundation in the Person Centered Therapy of Carl Rogers and his premise of Unconditional Positive Regard (UPR).  While we are adept at providing UPR to our clients we seldom think of ourselves as deserving UPR.  This workshop looks at how we deserve UPR and how we can begin to "work" on ourselves as much as we work at helping others.  For those of you who have been through countless self care workshops not to worry - there will be no visualizations, deep breathing, meditation or yoga involved.

John Plonski has 30+ years of experience in the fields of Crisis/Suicide Intervention and Information and Referral.  He has presented at the local, state, national and international levels and is currently the Director of IMAlive.org - a virtual crisis service with volunteers in 6 of the 7 continents.  He is the developer of the Helping Empathically As Responders Training (HEART) which is the online training for IMAlive's volunteers.  John has created comprehensive training curricula, seminars and workshops for developing and established organizations that address agency and staff development as well as emerging needs with the goal of helping caregivers to effectively empower those who reach out in need as well as themselves.
