Creative Maintenance is a playful yet clinically grounded experiential workshop designed to help helping professionals build daily emotional wellness rituals through reflection, nervous system awareness, and creative expression.
Participants will explore the ethical imperatives of self-care outlined by NASW and professional standards, examine the impact of burnout and compassion fatigue on clinical effectiveness, and learn evidence-informed strategies for creating small, consistent practices that support well-being.
Using a whimsical, hands-on creative activity, attendees will design a personalized “daily maintenance” system that represents emotional nourishment, regulation, rest, and restoration. Through guided reflection, discussion, and artistic engagement, participants will translate abstract self-care concepts into practical rituals they can integrate into everyday life.

Hi, I am Carly and I sure do love coming up with creative ways to get Ethics CEUs! I am committed to offering non-boring workshops that are rooted in creativity and with direct application to our work with clients.
Self-care is an all-too familiar concept, and often buzz word that may be overused now in pop culture. However, self-care practices are critical for sustaining ourselves in work and in life. Our professional ethical guidelines require us to tend to our self-care.
So, let’s have some fun and enjoy a creative experiential ethics workshop that is full of whimsy & color!
