Overview

The APS hosts this webinar with the APS College of Clinical Psychologists.

This webinar will equip clinicians with practical strategies for fostering resilience and preventing burnout by integrating the SPARKS framework.

SPARKS will be introduced, which stands for Safety, Physical Care, Achievement, Relationships, Kindness, and Spontaneity. These domains address core developmental needs often neglected by self-sacrificing and perfectionistic clinicians. 

Participants will learn to assess their current practices, identify gaps, and implement small but impactful changes tailored to their specific needs. The session will debunk common myths about traditional self-care and highlight the importance of nurturing the more vulnerable and neglected parts of ourselves.

About the presenter(s)

Danielle Graber is a clinical psychologist, business owner, trainer, animal-assisted therapist and board-approved supervisor. Her philosophy is that we learn best through relationships, play and stories. With a healthy dose of humour!

Danielle's expertise spans various disciplines, reflecting a commitment to holistic well-being and the prevention of burnout, something she has personal experience with and continues to navigate with care.

Danielle's approach is a distinctive combination of art and science, and it is this everyday intersection of two seemingly disparate ideas that she truly loves about the field of psychology. With a background in Medical Science, she has a strong grounding in evidence-based practice and research, but uses her more creative side (as evidenced in her training as an animal-assisted therapist) to apply that science in integrative and innovative ways.
