The Self-Care Chronicle
How do you find the time to take care of yourself when your career is all about taking care of others? As mental health professionals, we take on the enormous task of taking care of others’ emotional needs, placing ourselves at greater risk of vicarious trauma, burnout, and compassion fatigue. I'm Dr. Marsha, a Licensed Psychologist, and mental health expert. Join me as I connect with fellow mental health professionals about the challenges of managing one's own mental health and self-care while juggling high-stress roles at work and home.

Dr. Norwood currently serves as the Director of the Student Counseling Center at Hampton University. She focuses on enhancing mental health services to college students. Dr. Norwood created ReMIND U, LLC, which serves to promote the importance of remembering to keep mental health in discussions. Tune in to hear Dr. Norwood discuss ways that graduate school often prepares mental health professionals to overextend ourselves, to the detriment of our mental wellbeing.
