Strength Under Stress: Resilience Training for Healthcare Providers

This 5-week course has been designed to fit into a busy clinician's work week - a slow drip of information so you can balance it all. Strength Under Stress is all about providing personalized tools that help healthcare workers navigate challenges personally and professionally. In healthcare, burnout, vicarious trauma, and moral injury are common challenges that can take a toll on even the most skilled professionals. The constant demands, high-pressure environments, and emotional strain can lead to feelings of exhaustion, cynicism, and detachment.

There are evidenced based tools, strategies and wisdom you can equip yourself with to navigate the stresses in healthcare and continue loving what you do. By building resilience, you can sustain your well-being, enhance your performance, and maintain a deep connection with your passion for what you do.  

If you are feeling overburdened or overwhelmed at work, you want to get back to feeling confident, energized, and passionate or are looking for simple tried, tested and true strategies that build resilience during difficult conversations, managing the ever-growing to-do list and so much more, this course is for you. Jump in and join us for this deep-dive to strengthen your resilience for your personal and professional life.

What our learners say

"Taking this resilience course was a turning point in my career. As a physio, I often felt overwhelmed by the emotional and physical demands of my job. This course provided me with lots of practical tools like the Personal Stoplight Tool and CBT techniques, but what I really loved was Cassi's approach to it all. Since completing the course, and although this is still a work in progress, I feel more confident, energized, and passionate about my work. If you are thinking about taking this course, I would highly recommend strengthen their resilience."

"As an OT, I was starting to experience burnout and questioning my ability to continue in the field so I thought I would try this course. I was quickly blown away how such simple tools could help me navigate the challenges of my job and even my to-do list (charting, reports, calls, etc). Reframing my thinking and some of these skills have undoubtedly led to better mental well-being. Also, I have reignited my passion for OT and feel there is a healthy work-life balance again! I couldn't recommend this course more to any healthcare provider out there."
