Additional Notes:

  • Self-care: Self care means that you have to write breaks down in minutes as any other                    activity that refreshes you.

  • Supervision & Mentoring: The reflective procedure of supervision must be exercised                      on a regular basis in order to provide growth and directions.

  • Flexibility: Flexible as possible provided certain conditions such as emergencies or                         urgent need from clients might warrant diversions.

This structure allows for a balance between client care, team collaboration, administrative work, and personal wellness. Let me know if you'd like to adjust it!
