Facilitated By: Minaa B.
Recorded On: October 24, 2022

This is a recording of the introductions and keynote presentation from the system-wide professional learning day Only One You: A Be Well-ference for Early Years Professionals on October 24, 2022.

This day was made possible by the funding provided by The Province of Ontario, The City of London, and The County of Middlesex.

Everyone has habits, but some of our habits are not beneficial to our well-being. Healthy habits create room for self-care and self-care can happen anywhere you are, even in the classroom. During this workshop, you will learn the difference between habits and routines, the science behind what it takes to create healthy habits, and tools and strategies that will help you practice work-life harmony to better support your mental health and well-being.
