An Educational Afternoon Discussion
About You & For You

Thursday, Nov 23rd - 2:00 - 4:30 pm
$20 + HST in advance, or $25 cash at the door

You are consistently tapping into your own patience and compassion when supporting others physical and emotional needs - but at what cost?  You probably know all the details about the health of the person for whom you’re caring. You’re on top of what medications must be taken and when, and you can even spot minor changes in her mood and attitude. But are you as aware of what’s going on with you?

 

Knowing that we have to connect and build a relationship with care receivers/residents to what extent is our own emotional well-being managed? In the field of long term care; illness, death, loss and trauma are daily factors in your work. Other stresses such as scheduling, policy and communication can add to stress. You and your colleagues would be more comfortable, more effective and more emotionally stable by taking the time to learn about the emotional stressors of this work and the long term mental and physical impacts this can have on us.

" Understanding the various causes of your stress
immediately reduces the power the stress has
over you and gives you control."

"This workshop has essential information, it evoked many reflections on
personal and professional levels.  I came back to work with a new
critical perspective of how to identify burdens at work and how they
affect me. Tom and Becca had me hanging on every word."

Please join us for a refreshing day to include education, conversation, validation and connection with people who do your work, who ‘get’ you.

Hosted by Tom Regehr and Becca Partington of CAST Canada, together we will honour the complex and emotional burdens of caregiving, validate the ideas with plain language, gather individual strategies for coping and thriving as you grow and are changed by your work.

• An understanding of empathy as a resource that can be depleted and refilled. Strategies to achieve balance.
• An awareness of various, distinct stressors, how to recognize and manage them.
• Grounding exercises to take into your work and personal life
• Better strategies for long term self care, burn out prevention and compassion fatigue resiliency
• An understanding that your approach to your work has more to do with the stress than the events.
• Validation of the emotions involved in doing your work
• A rejuvenated sense of wellbeing and hope

Health Services Information

 "Tremendously insightful. Compassionate. Valuable. CAST workshops introduced me to a safe, comfortable environment where I could move from the space in my head (knowledge) to the place
in my heart.  The information I receive from CAST  workshops cannot be found anywhere else.  The tools I have taken from these workshops have been tremendously useful in my walk with the women I support. I  feel as though I’m enveloped in a space where we can talk about the difficult places in our work in an open and honest way.  The workshop provides an opportunity to explore, and discuss and learn from the presenters and from each other.  I walk away from
the day feeling enriched and nourished."
