BUILDING RESILIENCE Module

Welcome to Module 8 of our CPD-accredited training program, Building Resilience in Palliative Care Providers. The overall course focuses on empowering all Palliative Care providers with strategies to thrive in their roles while prioritising professional well-being. Join us to enhance patient care, foster personal fulfillment, and create a supportive work environment within palliative care.

This module explores the notion of resilience as a way of responding to challenges and adapting to stress in a resourceful way. Some people seem to bounce back from difficult times, while others may decline into depression or ill-health. This session will help us identify qualities of resilience demonstrated by those who seem to triumph over adversity, experience what it feels like to express these in action, and then to apply these insights to our own work and personal lives.
