Compassionate Self-Care – a sustainable approach to healthy communities

Self-Care has become a buzz word with the growth of the wellbeing industry. If you are an Instagram user you might instantly think of #self-care with its display of images of gorgeous looking salads, scented candles, face-masks, or luxury items designed to make you feel valued and spend money. Please don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with scented candles or healthy salads but this is an extremely limited and often not very useful way of viewing self-care.
