To prepare:

• Review the Learning Resources on professional resilience.
• Complete the Skovholt Practitioner Professional Resiliency and Self-Care Inventory on page xix in the textbook. Consider your results in the context of your work in this course and future steps you want to take to further your capacity for resilience. 

Post a reflection on the knowledge and insights you have gained throughout the course. How has your understanding of trauma exposure shifted? To what extent do you remain aligned with and focused on your professional purpose? Then, define “professional resilience.” How might your self-care habits support this resilience and help fulfill your purpose?
