Whether you work in a hospital, a safety net clinic, or in another health care setting, no health care provider working during the COVID-19 pandemic needs to read the flurry of news stories that highlight the extreme stress experienced by people in this line of work – you already know it firsthand. This webinar will introduce health care providers to the Community Resiliency Model (CRM), an evidence-based method of managing traumatic stress, preventing burnout and building resiliency.
This one-hour ACEs Connection webinar, cosponsored by the Center for Care Innovations, will answer these questions:
- What is the Community Resiliency Model?
- What is the science behind CRM?
- How can CRM be used in the course of a fast-paced day?
- How can CRM transform the work environment for health care providers?
When: Wednesday, Dec. 9, noon-1 p.m. PT/3-4 p.m. ET
