Burnout recovery for healthcare workers

Re-igniting a sense of meaning and purpose: Evidence-based skills to address pandemic and professional burnout.

Helping professionals have some of the highest rates of burnout across professions. Living through COVID has only made this situation worse. They also have some of the lowest rates of help-seeking. This program offers practical, real-life strategies to help address burnout and improve professional resiliency in helping professionals. This workshop takes into account pandemic fatigue, how living through the pandemic has impacted us, and how to move forward successfully through the next stages (e.g., “post-vaccine”). In particular, it addresses the issue that the antidote to burnout isn’t rest, it’s re-igniting a sense of meaning and purpose (e.g., “value-based living”). Participants will be introduced to some of the latest empirically based skills and techniques that have been shown to improve well-being and sense of purpose. The workshop also focuses on the “how” (e.g., how to charge our batteries and engage in value-based living) rather than just the “what” of burnout treatment.

Training for healthcare providers

Chronic Disease Management Skills for Healthcare Providers

There is an urgent need for healthcare providers to promote sustained health behaviour-change in order to improve chronic disease management. Research shows that behaviour-change improves health outcomes and that healthcare providers can make a meaningful impact on patients’ health behaviours. However, most healthcare providers have little training, and therefore low confidence in, behaviour-change skills. This workshop provides practical skills based on the latest research that healthcare providers can use to support health behaviour-change and chronic disease management.

This program is based on an evidence-based program designed to provide healthcare providers with skills to manage the stress of change and improve the adoption of behaviour-change skills into their clinical practice.

Trauma-Informed Leadership for the workplace

Trauma is prevalent in our society. Studies show that a large majority of the population has experienced trauma. The National Council for Mental Well-Being has found that at least 70% of Americans have been exposed to trauma. Canadian research suggests that 76% of Canadian adults report being exposed to some form of trauma during their lifetime. In addition, COVID has been a source of trauma for many people. From these numbers, it would be difficult to imagine a workplace that does not have people affected by trauma.

People suffering from trauma can feel overwhelmed, unable to cope, unable to trust, and unable to work effectively in a team. Trauma-informed leadership teaches leaders best practices for creating a workplace environment in which employees who have experienced trauma can feel safe and have a sense of control, so they can re-engage and return to productivity. All skills are evidence-based, drawn from best practices in trauma-informed care, leadership, and psychological safety. The skills are also informed by the legal duties and obligations of employers to employees suffering from trauma-related mental health challenges.
