Free CE Workshop: Reimagining Rest

September 19, 2026 10 am ET - Virtual

1 CEU for NY LMSW/LCSWs & LMHCs

This workshop introduces school and youth mental health providers to identify and disrupt chronic rest deficits to support the creation of a sustainable plan you can revisit as needed to support YOU  first.

What will you learn?

Using Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith's Seven Types of Rest framework alongside Tricia Hersey's Rest Is Resistance, participants leave with a short-term and long-term rest plan they can revisit.

  • Identify personal rest deficits across seven domains of rest

  • Understand rest as an act of resistance against systemic overextension in helping professions, with attention to the disproportionate load carried by BIPOC and early-career practitioners

  • Complete a rest self-assessment and translate results into concrete intentions
