Coping in the COVID-19 Crisis

Resilience is a psychological feature that contributes towards the prevention of the damaging effects of psychological distress; resilient people are able to cope better with adverse events and enjoy longer, healthier careers. Join Rosie Overfield for an evening of self-reflection and self-care planning, as we take a look at evidence-based approaches for staying well. This webinar will include topics such as Understanding the signs and symptoms of compassion fatigue and secondary traumatic stress, Developing a personal ‘wellness’ dashboard, Self-care strategies away from the workplace, including the latest data on sleep, Team-care strategies for taking care of each other at work.

The experience of stress is a personal one, and no two people will experience situations the same way. An event at work that could be considered a major stressful event for one nurse, may be seen by others as energising and challenging. 
This webinar will explore evidence-based practices for developing resilience, and subsequently, greater wellbeing as a veterinary nurse. Topics include:
•    Developing emotional insight, and self-awareness skills
•    Personal resilience-building and wellbeing practices
•    Practical strategies for handling difficult situations at work 

The veterinary profession has a high rate of burnout and suicide, to which many factors contribute. This webinar will look at what research has shown to be the top five factors affecting veterinary professionals, and what can be done about it. It will also address the importance of good nutrition, exercise, sleep hygiene, as well as why self-care should be a priority to try and combat the often negative side-effects of working within the veterinary industry.
