Dr. Melanie Abts on Self-Care

from NACCTEP Now Hosted by The National Association of Community College Teacher Education Programs

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Melanie Abts, Counseling and Career Services Department Co-Chair at Rio Salado College as well as a licensed associate counselor and licensed school counselor. Dr. Abts shares the importance of taking time for oneself, whether it is to attend medical appointments or just to carve out time for fun. She also discusses having a support system of family, or friends, or mentor teachers, to reach out to when you need help. That can be for anything from watching your kids so that you have time to study, providing guidance or advice on work or personal issues, or simply to be a listening ear. One critical question that she always asks is "Do you love yourself?" Adding that we can't be of value to others if we don't first value ourselves.
