Concordia Graduate & Continuing Studies is an approved provider of social work continuing education for MN (MNBSW) and ND (NDBSWE).

Welcome to our course Ferocious Self-Care: To Survive or Not to Survive the Profession.

Our profession often encourages clients to practice self-care, we talk about how we must practice what we preach, but somewhere between good intentions and reality; we often lose our way. With the inclusion of self-care in our latest revision of our Code of Ethics, the time has come for diligence and dedication to our own self-care strategies. This course is intended to motivate and encourage you to begin your own ferocious journey with self-care!

A video will guide you through the course content followed by a quiz to validate your understanding of the material. At the conclusion of the course, we provide a Self-Care Plan template you can use to develop your own self-care routine and simple steps to move toward greater balance and healthy boundaries. A certificate will be awarded following successful completion of the course.
