Culturally Sustainable Self-Care: A tool for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Field Experience

The Self-Care Buddy Project provides a means of connection as students navigate their field experience while the Lōkahi Wheel Self-Care Plan allows integration of their cultural identities and their self-care practice. We will provide an overview of these projects for field students and will invite participants to share their approaches.
