The Ethics of Self-Care: Honoring Our Role, Our Work, Ourselves
Available Formats: PDF Slides, Full Color Version
These slides provide a structured, ethics-grounded framework for understanding self-care as part of professional responsibility, not as a luxury or afterthought.
Grounded in major ethical codes (APA, ACA, NASW, AAMFT, MCEE, Nevada regulations), the presentation connects competence, impairment prevention, boundaries, and sustainable presence to real-life clinical practice.
The slide deck includes:
• Clear explanations of how self-care is embedded in professional ethics
• Reflection exercises exploring the “Self” in self-care
• A multidimensional Self-Care Check-In framework
• In-session micro-practices for regulating the nervous system
• A structured MAC experience for moving from default habits to intentional practice
• Integration prompts for supervision, consultation, and team discussion
Designed for workshops, supervision groups, team trainings, and continuing education events, these slides help professionals translate ethical principles into daily, embodied practice.
