We would like to provide you ongoing support and materials following the Mindfulness for Healthcare Summit.
This week, we would like to share Gratitude Practice for Nurses—a joint initiative of the American Nurses Foundation and the Greater Good Science Center at the University of California, Berkeley.
Decades of scientific research have shown that practicing gratitude is good for our minds, bodies, and relationships. Gratitude Practice for Nurses is a free initiative designed to provide nurses with the resources and opportunities to cultivate gratitude and to prioritize their own health, happiness, and well-being. The initiative includes:
- A Toolkit for Nurse Well-Being that summarizes scientific findings on gratitude and several research-based practices for cultivating gratitude.
- An Implementation Guide with talking points and guidance for using the Toolkit to encourage practices in wider community settings.
- Two 21-day online gratitude challenges that offer group experiences for gratitude journaling through the Greater Good Science Center’s Thnx4.org platform.
- A wide variety of multimedia content for growing your awareness about the science and practice of gratitude.
Gratitude Practice for Nurses offers an important opportunity for nurses, who give so much care to others, to take time to learn these practices so they can better care for themselves.
