| University of Virginia Compassionate Care Initiative (CCI) Learning Series Lecture with Dr. Courtney McCluney, EquiWell Partners
“Making Room for Rest and Recovery in Healthcare” Our increased awareness of global inequality and collective suffering has made compassion a critical behavior and business imperative. Making room for rest and recovery (R&R) in healthcare is necessary to sustain compassionate care, support our most vulnerable populations, and reduce compassion fatigue. But what is rest and recovery? Why is it important to practice in healthcare? How can organizations create and prioritize R&R as a strategy? How is R&R tied to equity and inclusion? We will define R&R and ways to apply it to your daily life, work team, and organizational system. By the end of this session, we hope everyone will consider R&R an essential organizational strategy to sustain healthcare workers and reduce inequities in healthcare. Co-sponsored by the School of Nursing’s IDEA initiative. CE credits are available. Lunch provided for the first 30 people to arrive. The CCI Learning Series features programming for health workers- healthcare professionals, caregivers, students, faculty, staff, and community members- all of whom have a shared interest in relieving human suffering compassionately. The CCI Learning Series particularly targets session on improving wellbeing, improving collaboration, and using voice and leadership to provide compassionate care. https://nursing.virginia.edu/news/ccilearningseries-courtney-mccluney/ |
