VALUING YOURSELF Module

Welcome to Module 6 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.

Valuing the self requires that we recognise our own worth and, in doing so, can better acknowledge the intrinsic worth of others. Participants explore ways they currently do look after themselves and consider what sources of personal support they have available to them in particular situations. Self-confidence will grow as they develop their self respect. This can help them to bring mutual respect and harmony into their relationships, to the benefit of themselves, their patients and colleagues.
