Module 6 – Self Care and Managing Mental Health

When you work from home, it is really easy for your job to flow into your personal life. Without a daily commute or a physical office to leave, you might find yourself working longer hours, skipping breaks, and feeling drained without even realising why. In a remote setup, taking care of yourself isn’t just about relaxing—it is a practical tool to help you stay healthy and do your best work.

This lesson breaks down why taking care of yourself matters when working from home and how simple daily habits can make a huge difference. It is taken from a webinar with a Certified Trauma Support Practitioner, Registered Guidance Counselor, and holder of Master of Arts in Counseling.

The material used for this lesson is a combination of a PDF, which you can download and read, and a video for the practical demonstrations.
