Description
Resources

In today’s fast-paced, overstressed world, those of us who professionally care for the health and well-being of others often place ourselves at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to self-care. Everyone else’s needs come before our own; both at work and at home. The adage of “patient first” has unintentionally created an environment in health care that places the practitioner last. It makes no sense and often leads to personal and professional burn-out. What if we spin this practice on its head? Practitioner first. My own physical and mental well-being first. Place the oxygen mask on myself first. This course empowers health care professionals to make positive choices for their physical and mental selves, resulting in better care for the patients they serve. Health promotion strategies will center on four focus areas: physical wellness, sleep, nutrition, and mental wellness. Healthy practitioners better ensure healthier patients.

Learning Objectives:

Investigate simple, positive changes you can make to lower your stress levels.
Explore how exercise, nutrition and sleep affect multiple body systems for health.
Create a personal plan to increase your overall wellness and better serve your patients.
