Description

Join us for a dynamic and interactive 1.5-hour training session on Cumulative Stress and Self-Care. This session is designed specifically for healthcare professionals who are routinely exposed to high-stress environments and are seeking effective, evidence-based strategies to maintain their mental and emotional well-being. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of cumulative stress—a form of stress that builds gradually over time due to repeated exposure to challenging situations—and how it uniquely impacts those working in the healthcare field. The training will highlight the physiological and psychological effects of cumulative stress and provide actionable tools to address it proactively. By the end of the session, participants will be equipped with practical self-care tools they can immediately apply in both personal and professional settings to strengthen emotional resilience and combat the long-term effects of cumulative stress.
