  • Building Employee Resiliency through Person-Centered Approaches
    Contains 1 Component(s)

    This webinar will review key take aways from a mindfulness-based stress reduction program as well as the impact that yoga has on resiliency, mental health, and wellness. ​This on-demand webinar is available free to AHCA/NCAL members.

    You are invited to partake in a webinar focused on well-being and resiliency. Everyone has been exposed to trauma including the trauma that happened during the COVID-19 pandemic. Everyone in our facilities across the country has been traumatized by the events that have occurred and will continue to occur. The Ying and Yang of the situation is that we need these extreme exposures and stressors to activate a unique opportunity for profound growth provided we have the tools to explore those opportunities. We need a paradigm shift that involves self-awareness, intentionality to move the needle, and engagement in practice.  This leads us to resiliency. Resilient people are better prepared to handle the stressors that enter our lives every day. People who are resilient have better mental health and well-being. What is the key to being resilient? Resiliency revolves around our ability to adapt to the changing environment, situations, and events that happen around us and the ability to reduce stress. This webinar will review key take aways from a mindfulness-based stress reduction program as well as the impact that yoga has on resiliency, mental health, and wellness.

    Objectives: After viewing this webinar, participants will be able to:
    • Explain what resiliency is, why is it important, and why now.
    • Describe the keys to improving resiliency among self and others.
    • Discuss strategies and learn gentle yoga and breathing techniques to reduce stress that you can adopt today.
