ABSTRACT
When stress arises or trauma perpetuates as a result of systemic issues, it is easy to feel powerless to create change. Personal self-care is important, but will only go so far if we live in a toxic environment. This chapter serves to identify systems and their relationships to one another, and to encourage choices that facilitate healthy systems, whenever possible. We will also explore boundaries and self-care practices that bolster practitioners in the face of challenging work.
