If your self-care strategy only starts after you’ve completely burned out, it’s time to rethink the strategy. 🧠✨

On International Self-Care Day, we’re challenging the idea that self-care is just something you do 'on days off' to recover from your week.

True professional self-care looks like:
👉 Setting firm professional boundaries without guilt.
👉 Engaging in active reflection as part of daily practice.
👉 Recognising the warning signs of 'burnout' early.

At Open Training College, we don't just expect our students to figure this out on their own. We build self-care, resilience, and wellbeing directly into our course modules—because protecting the person doing the care is just as important as the care being delivered.
