This workshop will introduce the key concepts and model of collaborative experiential learning. While this model was developed for use in social work student supervision, it can be applied to any experiential learning, for example apprenticeships, ASYE or mentoring models that require the development of knowledge and skills through practice. 

This session is about how to stay grounded, motivated, and human—even when the system feels rushed and overloaded. We’ll explore how to work with your brain (not against it), use your energy wisely, and reconnect with the values that keep you going. 
 
Tangible takeaways: 

- Energy-saving resets to use in the middle of a busy day 

- Brain-friendly strategies for managing stress and overload 

- Feel-good productivity tools that create space for reflection 

- A chance to reconnect with why you stay in this work 

- Practical ways to protect the relational, human part of practice
