Description:
\n<\/b>Healthcare Professionals have faced an unparalleled challenge with the arrival of the pandemic in 2020. While we have all been anticipating more freedom and less stress in a post pandemic reality, instead we\u2019ve discovered it\u2019s more like \u201cCOVID – The Sequel\u201d. The delta variant, a coming fourth wave, and confusing on\/off restrictions have instead resulted in feelings of continued stress, anxiety, burnout and resentment. That coupled with so many things that remain uncertain or have changed, from our roles at work, to working from home, to trying to protect our school age kids, to changes in relationships with family and friends and even patients, due differing beliefs in vaccinations or restrictions, have brought already stressful working lives to an inflection point. Join Sarah Allen Benton who will guide us through what these changes mean to us; how to identify maladaptive coping in our own lives; and how to enact practical strategies to help keep balance, good mental health and resilience. Lessons learned can be applied to patients and clients who are struggling with the same issues.<\/p>\n
