The Art of Self-Health for Healthcare Professionals (7 credits)

Course Description

The Art of Self-Health is a course designed to teach healthcare professionals how to care for themselves as much as they care for others. Participants in this course are encouraged to stop giving all of their energy away to others, and give some back to themselves. This helps the professional, and it helps the clients served.

Unfortunately, many professionals in the health care industry experience burn out. The creativity, love and compassion that was the catalyst for entering the health care field has been replaced by simply “going through the motions” while meeting the ever increasing demands of employers, insurers, patients, and case managers. The caring desire to help others is often replaced by an experience of energy depletion.
