Thank you for the helpful reminder regarding self care.
It is extremely important.
I participated in the training and then took the quiz. I only took the quiz one time, but received a message stating that I had exceeded the number of times I could take the quiz. Will I receive CRC continuing ed for this?

Hi Eugenia,
Have you received your CRC information yet? Otherwise I can check into that for you. I did confirm that you completed the evaluation form.

I was very impressed with this presentation. I. I especially liked the concrete examples that were provided. It really surprised me when it was revealed how much little time off professionals take. I am most certainly agree that time off oftentimes recharges someone’s spirit.
I am going to employ the examples given in the presentation to help me improve my own self-care skills. Like you both said, some of these can be done in a minimal amount of time
On another note, I know that you want the evaluation filled out for CRC credit. Could you let me know how to access the evaluation? Again, thank you for such a valuable presentation. I appreciated it.
I completed the webinar on 4/27/2020 and never received CRC credit. I would appreciate if you could confirm that I completed the evaluation form. Thanks.
