6. Follow-up task
In line with the theme of self-care, your follow-up task for Module 4 is to take at least an hour and do something for yourself. This does not include working on your caseload! This training has been challenging and dealing with some very heavy topics, it is important that you are comfortable and able to now step away from it, and turn your mind to something else.
