Few periods in recent history have been as challenging for the human service and healthcare workforce as the last couple of years. The pandemic forced us to drastically change how we deliver services with little time to plan as rates of trauma skyrocketed. Unlike other work stressors, COVID-19 transcends the work environment as it threatens our lives and those of our family and friends. Besides the fear of the virus, we saw a fight for racial justice, a financial crisis, and an intense and divisive political election and insurrection. As we enter 2023, many people are tired, traumatized, angry, and afraid.

The challenge facing us is clear: how do we recover our health and provide the best services possible for the people we serve? If not strategically addressed, our mental health threatens to lower our outcomes, devastate our organizational culture, and cost us financially in turnover, absenteeism, health care costs, and declining productivity.

Day 1 focuses on understanding what happened to us and creating a recovery or resiliency plan entering the new year. This session will help attendees find small changes that promote recovery and to ensure they have the energy and mental health to give their best to those they serve.

Day 2 focuses on leaders, managers, and those interested in helping organizations and teams recover and thrive. This session will challenge attendees to create a 2023 Recovery Plan while addressing the systematic issues that burned people out at alarming rates before the pandemic.

Eligible for 6 hours Certificate of Completion
