Join me this summer for a six-week online course that will help you reconnect to your most powerful self.  With all that is happening in the world it is easy to feel like we are giving away our power, burning our candle at both ends while we are on a hamster wheel not getting to where we want to go. This course will help you identify how to refuel so that you prevent burning out.

We will will practice recognizing and addressing issues related to vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue.

We will explore the eight domains of wellness and determine which areas to add focus and attention.

We will discuss ways to improve the environments that we live, work, and socialize that align with our core values.

We will brainstorm how to develop nurturing and supportive relationships as a way to build support one another.

Throughout the six week course, participants will hear inspiring stories of growth and transformation that others have found on their own path back to their P.O.W.E.R.

“P.O.W.E.R. – Path of Wellness, Environment, and Relationships” – the summer course begins the week of July 11th and runs for six weeks. There will be six meetings “in real time” on Zoom for one hour ~ day of the week & time to be determined.

April will be teaching two early childhood courses beginning in January for the Community College of Vermont at the Saint Johnsbury location. The two courses are Introduction to Early Childhood and Curriculum Development. Both courses are “hybrid model” so half of the content is in person and half is online. Each course meets every other Tuesday, which means a student can enroll in both and only be out of the house one night per week.

The Saint Johnsbury CCV site has a team of instructors who want to help you map out a plan for your career in early childhood education! The new year is a perfect time to start!
