Balancing work and personal life in a 24-7 environment amidst tumultuous
change is no small task. Continuing educators who build their personal resilience
are able to rise above the chaos, creating a means for maintaining drive
and stamina while finding opportunities to relax, restore and rejuvenate.
This is a must-attend session for UCEA MidAtlantic conference attendees

and results. We will explore:
