Peer Wellness Supports for Healthcare Providers; 2-Part Training

Peer Wellness Supports for Healthcare Providers 2-Part Training

 

 

Training Overview

Professionals across the health care continuum are trained to support, educate, and care for others. Sometimes this care comes at their own expense, and they may have difficulty tending to their own well-being. Burnout and compassion fatigue can lead to poor job performance which can negatively impact colleagues, patients/clients, and students, as well as family and friends.

Attention to self-care and simple daily practices can build resilience and increase a person’s overall wellness. This training will help professionals in a range of disciplines and settings facilitate brief self-care sessions with their peers and colleagues.

Each two-hour live webinar will include didactic, experiential, and implementation planning components (e.g., brief overview of practice, doing a self-care practice, resources, and challenges to using materials at their location, and discussion). This training is highly interactive and experiential. At the end of this training, the audience will be able to lead wellness groups for small teams within their own health center.

 

Training Schedule and Sequence

May 17 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. PST: Session 1 will include an overview of the program and self-care practice experience for participants.

May 31 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. PST: Session 2 will include peer strategies and how to implement a colleague-to-colleague program and developing your plan (identifying strengths, possible challenges, and strategies to overcome possible challenges).

 

Recommended Audience
