This highly interactive training introduces participants to practical strategies for enhancing both personal and organizational resilience. The full-day session incorporates numerous break-out rooms to foster discussion and collaboration. Additionally, we feature guest speakers through short video clips, where these experts share their perspectives and insights on resilience.
Rationale
Resilience is most commonly defined as the ability to positively adapt despite adversity. It involves building the strength and strategies necessary to withstand stress before it occurs. Personal resilience is a crucial tool for health and social service staff, enabling them to survive and thrive in their demanding professions. Resilient frontline staff navigate the challenges of the 21st century while striving to maintain a healthy work-life balance (Hallowell & Ratey, 2011; Rock, 2009).
In this one-day module, we will include participants from the healthcare field and first responders. Research by Mathieu (2011) indicates that 60% of healthcare workers have experienced trauma before entering the profession. As such, a dedicated commitment to physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual well-being is essential for maintaining a healthy life.
The primary objective of this program is to enhance resilience and promote self-care among participants, helping them better manage the challenges they face in their professional and personal lives.
