As healthcare providers, we all face situations where our ability to engage in best practice is challenged by lack of resources, inequities, systemic racism, the pandemic context, and countless other difficulties. Over time, these experiences can lead to “compassion fatigue” and burnout.
In this session, we will introduce the concepts of moral distress and moral resilience as ways to understand our relationship to the challenges inherent in healthcare practice. We will also discuss how cultivating mindfulness is an important part of building and sustaining moral resilience.
We invite attendee questions and reflection.
