Sept. 10 CCI Lecture: Making Room for Rest and Recovery in Healthcare
Compassionate Care Initiative (CCI) Learning Series Lecture with Dr. Courtney McCluney, EquiWell Partners
"Making Room for Rest and Recovery in Healthcare"
Tuesday, September 10, 12-1 PM
McLeod Hall, room 5060
Our increased awareness of global inequality and collective suffering has made compassion a critical behavior and business imperative. Making room for rest and recovery (R&R) in healthcare is necessary to sustain compassionate care, support our most vulnerable populations, and reduce compassion fatigue. But what is rest and recovery? Why is it important to practice in healthcare? How can organizations create and prioritize R&R as a strategy? How is R&R tied to equity and inclusion? We will define R&R and ways to apply it to your daily life, work team, and organizational system. By the end of this session, we hope everyone will consider R&R an essential organizational strategy to sustain healthcare workers and reduce inequities in healthcare.
Co-sponsored by the School of Nursing's IDEA initiative.
CE credits available. Lunch provided for the first 30 people to arrive.
