Build a Self-Care Plan

Make sure your self-care plan:

• Is prepared in advance of when you might need it.
• Includes activities that are as low-cost as possible.
• Includes at least one activity you can do every day (like taking time to read a novel).
• Includes at least one activity that takes a little time, but can be done on a week-end (like having friends over for dinner).
• Includes a list of a few of your meaningful activities you like to do regularly.
• Includes some signs you might need self-care.

As a reminder that you don’t need to know the answers yourself, we’re going to point you to a resource that has already been created by the Distress Centre in Alberta.
