Your Self-Care Plan Is Not One-Size Fits All
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
Round 1: What types of 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?
Let’s Harvest the Ideas from the Conversations
