CHE Care of Self and Others

In this program, holism is foundational in Community Health Education theory and practice. Students will explore self-care and the interrelatedness of caring, therapeutic presence, and holistic Community Health Education practice. The program’s philosophy is that every person is an individual who is respected regardless of their human circumstances and identity. All individuals are endowed with the ability and capacity to learn and to seek health. Students are encouraged to examine the characteristics of self-care to facilitate personal knowing. Centering approaches, meditation, and progressive relaxation techniques will be explored in guided group experiences. Self-care as a reflection of family, social, and cultural, and professional norms will be explored. Holistic, caring-healing interventions will be introduced to facilitate personal and professional development.
