Rolling Out Resiliency

Wednesday, April 18, 2018

In this new and ever-changing world of healthcare, there is one thing that remains a constant: quality. Healthcare providers are first and foremost tasked with providing the highest level of quality care all day, every day. There is no room for error.

As experienced healthcare professionals, we understand this line of work can be the most rewarding and the most challenging. Why? Because you are so heavily relied upon to help others and provide high-quality care. You help patients and families feel better—physically, mentally, and emotionally—in some of the most difficult times of their lives. That’s your job. And well, sometimes that can be just plain exhausting. We get it.

This is called burnout.

It’s normal. It happens. But, you don’t have to allow it to take over and consume your life personally and professionally. You can beat it! And we know how to help you.

It’s called resilience.

Resilience, or the ability to cope, is a critical skill for both clinical and nonclinical healthcare professionals to develop and use. And sometimes resilience doesn’t come as naturally as we’d like it to. It takes awareness and intention to sustain our resilience.

Using research from the work of Dr. Bryan Sexton as well as Dr. Martin Seligman (positive psychology), we use efficient and effective resiliency tools to customize a program to meet your organization’s specific challenges.
