Healing Wounds That Never Close: Burnout, Systemic Oppression, and Clinician Care
Healing Wounds That Never Close is a two-day workshop exploring the impact of racial inequity on burnout for therapists, physicians, and other wellness professionals. In this workshop, we will explore the personal and clinical implications of our experiences with racial injustice and systemic oppression and how they intersect with our clients' lived experiences of the same.
By exploring how racial trauma impacts both clinicians and patients/clients we can begin to embrace a more expansive view of how to take care of ourselves to avoid and recover from compassion fatigue and burnout. You will gain a fresh understanding of your experience of exhaustion working within systems that feel counter to your values and the needs of those you serve.
We will also develop a broader lens through which to see clients and patients who may present as apathetic, resistant, or disconnected from treatment. As we work to support Black and other clients/patients of color it's imperative now more than ever that we ask ourselves how health providers can get and give racially relevant support and cultivate the self-compassion practices needed for our collective well-being.
The course will be held in two 2-hour long virtual sessions on Wednesday and Thursday from 6 -8 pm EST.
Each participant will receive a 40-page workbook prior to the start of the workshop to include self-reflection, resources, and activities for further learning and growth.
Open to therapists, social workers, physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, and all other wellness providers in learning more about the role of racial and other social injustices on burnout and compassion fatigue.
Learning Objectives:
Understand compassion fatigue and empathic distress through the lens of racial inequity.
Learn to identify empathic distress in ourselves and our patients/clients
Understand the role of self-compassion and active listening as key components to addressing empathic distress
Develop specific strategies to build self-compassion practices for ourselves and our clients
