2021 Creating a Mindful Day for Healthcare Providers

Designed for medical practitioners, healthcare teams and others related to supporting or providing care, this is a dynamic, engaging, online, live experience based on best practices from delivering highly-rated online mindfulness-based programs to over 2,000 professionals in the last year alone. The virtual, online format provides new possibilities for connection, sharing and engagement while allowing you to learn from the comfort of your own home.

We will apply the science of mindfulness-based emotional intelligence to increase performance, relationships and wellbeing during uncertainty, pressure and stress, at work, at home and in relationships. Using well-established learning methods, we create a dynamic, safe, refreshing learning community to allow medical professionals to have an experiential, reflective and transformative day. Session themes include the science of mindfulness, awareness and attention; navigating difficult emotions; cultivating self-compassion for challenges, setbacks and difficult times; strengthening compassionate communication with colleagues, patients and families, and strategies to build and access a positive mind under duress.
