When the COVID19 threat became a reality many of us pivoted, made the necessary adjustments, and did what needed to be done. But we're beginning to feel signs of exhaustion now that the initial adrenaline rush is over. In this episode, we discuss the need many youthworkers have right now to take a time out to regroup, refresh and refuel and we offer some resources to help you care for yourself in the process.
