These opportunities may include: building confidence in your skills, practicing self-care, managing vicarious trauma, making the most of your supervision and other resources, acclimating to your new role as a mental health practitioner, and developing a professional network for referrals.

Goals for this group include:

o Gain tools for managing stress and overwhelm with your practice
o Develop self-care tools
o Process countertransference issues
o Managing vicarious trauma
o Share developing private practice tips
o Learn and support each other with how to navigate challenges in your practice
