Self-Care Domains, Benefits of Self-Care in Graduate-Level Training Programs, and Ways to Incorporate Self-Care Education and Practices in Graduate-Level Training Programs

<p>A literature review was conducted to examine the concept of self-care as a proactive means to manage the stressors of life, enhance professional competency, and live a well-balanced lifestyle, particularly for graduate-level psychology students. Different levels of distress, including stress, compassion fatigue, and burnout, were researched and discussed.
