Level Up Your Self-Care

Why a Self-Care Challenge?
Social workers are experts at creating care plans for others. Now it’s your turn. The Self-Care Challenge invites you to design your own well-being plan through check-ins and activities. Prioritize yourself—and see if you can become the next CSWE Self-Care Champion!
