Tell Us How You are Taking Care of Yourself
We’ve been asking, and you’ve been telling us how you take care of yourself. But we want to hear from more of you. 

Tell us how you are taking care of yourself, and you could win some great prizes! One organization will also win a free in-service for staff. Submission deadline is November 12.

Print off the Who’s Taking Care of You? sign and take a photo with your self-care strategies, or send a 30-second cell phone video (get your colleagues together and have some fun), or tell us in words how you take care of yourself. Send your submission to info@safecarebc.ca

 

Every submission will have a chance to win one of three prizes:

• Fitbit ($160 value)
• Spa package ($150 value)
• Family movie night package ($50 value)

Each winner will also receive a free spot at a SafeCare BC training session.

In addition, every organization that has a submission will be eligible for a draw for a complimentary one-day in-service for staff in any of the following training areas: Gentle Persuasive Approach Basics (GPA), Violence Prevention, or Dementia Care.

Be sure to check out our Be Care Aware page, as we continue to add new content and resources.
