2024 AIChE Annual Meeting

Self-Care and Resilience

One of the silver linings of the pandemic is the fact that it highlighted the need for more self-care, emotional and mental health support, and a greater appreciation for the human experience. After all, we are not AI-driven robots- we think and feel and experience pain, sadness, anxiety and depression, especially in the face of great challenges. In this session, we will discuss strategies for effective self-care. We will delve into ways to navigate any challenging circumstance to protect our physical, mental and emotional health, and you will emerge with a template for a set of guidelines you can develop yourself to ensure you are always kind to yourself.
