The Self-Care Cafe

How It Works • Each
table has a table cloth (flip chart paper) and markers for note-taking • Each table will have a host • There will be two rounds of discussions, with focus questions • Table hosts will remain at their table, others will move to a different table after each round • Table hosts will summarize the discussion at beginning

self-care activities do you think would work for you? (Use checklist)

Round 2: What support do
you need from work, family, or others? What help do you need to get started?
