THE CARe NETWORK

Dear CARe community colleagues,

We are delighted to invite you to the second CARe Cafรฉ on 4 September (14:00-15:30 CET).

Following our enjoyable kick-off meeting, we are transforming the cafรฉ into a Self-CARe Cafรฉ for this edition.

We have chosen the theme of self-care as a fitting way to reconnect after the holiday period. Summer is often a time when we have the opportunity to look back and look ahead. It is a time to recharge our batteries, set fresh goals and reflect on what we would like to maintain, change or further develop.

Together, we will look at ways to translate your reflections into practical actions, helping you build on what is already working well and take steps towards meaningful change. 

You are invited to shape your own self-care, you will have the opportunity to exchange ideas in smaller groups and develop practical applications at client, team and organisational level. We will explore how the CARe approach can support (your own) self-care.

Whether you are a practitioner, coach, peer worker, expert by experience, trainer or leader, there is a place for you.

So, choose your favourite mug, pour yourself a drink that fits the self-care theme, and join us!

Please register via this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/BM7aarncTP-TtNx3eXPC7w 

We wish you a lovely summer, with plenty of time for the things that help you feel at your best.

We look forward to seeing you on 4 September.

CARe Cafรฉ is the place within the CARe network for informal get-togethers, exchanging ideas, learning, supporting one another and strengthening the network.

 Warm regards,

CARe Cafรฉ Baristas
