Compassion Resilience: Rise Above Burnout to Provide the Best Care for Your Residents

Part 1


We’ve all witnessed how compassion fatigue and burnout can lead to personal and organizational ineffectiveness marked by lower team and resident satisfaction.


This two-part interactive session, led by Sue McKenzie Dicks and Anne Ballentine, will help you develop a plan to guard against compassion fatigue while building resilience for yourself, your team and
organization. The workshops are designed to help participants become more effective personally and then be empowered to create to a culture where team members and patients feel heard, cared for, and motivated to make a difference with residents.
The training will give you the chance to:

  • Gain insights into the cycle of fatigue, burnout, and resilience, and reflect on personal experiences to understand what fuels and depletes your own energy and outlook.
  • Unleash the power that comes from finding an internal perspective on your span of control.
  • Enhance skills in setting clear and realistic expectations and getting shared agreement.
  • Practice setting and upholding boundaries in order to achieve your most important priorities.
  • Establish team culture agreements to support a resilient culture.
  • Expand your definition of self-care and renewal as you build a Resilience Toolkit that allows you to show up as your best self both at work and at home.
  • Spend time experiencing well-being practices in group setting.
  • Learn strategies for accountability to goals for lifestyle change.

The interactive exercises and small group discussions allow you to apply concepts in real time and set goals you can act on immediately. You will leave with tools you can use yourself and share with your team to show up as your most effective and compassionate selves. Plus you’ll have the chance to engage with colleagues in your field as you share challenges and ideas.
