Now, let's get started...
Youth Work Wellness: Self-Care Strategies for Professionals, delves into the heart of self-care, exploring not just the 'what' and 'how,' but the pivotal 'why' behind nurturing our own well-being in the demanding field of youth work.
Let's transform it from a buzzword into a concrete foundation upon which the resilience and effectiveness of youth professionals can be built and sustained.
Emotional fatigue, burnout, and the often overlooked vicarious trauma. We shine a light on the personal stories of resilience and recovery.
I'll talk about simple and actionable strategies and innovative approaches that integrate self-care into the very fabric of your daily routines, making well-being achievable for even the busiest professionals. From mindfulness techniques tailored for the youth work setting to creating a self-care plan that's as unique as your personal and professional journey, this episode is packed with practical insights.
We explore how organizations can foster a culture of wellness, supporting not just the youth they serve, but also the professionals who dedicate their lives to this vital work. The power of peer support, the importance of setting healthy boundaries, and strategies for advocating for a work environment that prioritizes mental health and wellness.
Tune in to transform your approach to self-care, elevate your professional practice, and rediscover the joy and passion that drew you to youth work. Because taking care of yourself isn't just an act of self-love—it's a professional necessity.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
