On the heaviness of halos: Care for the professional caregiver during crisis
Presented by renowned educator, consultant, and author, Dr. Carla Cheatham
Professionals like you are often called “angels” or “heroes.” But halos get heavy, and superhero capes can strangle us if worn too long without the right support – especially during times of crisis.
Watch a powerful webinar that helps caregivers in all disciplines tend to their own emotional and mental health as they continue to serve others during the COVID-19 pandemic. You can’t afford to wait until after the crisis because it may be just beginning. The time to acknowledge the struggle and find the resilience you need is now.
Dr. Carla Cheatham, renowned educator and author on compassion fatigue and resilience, discusses the trauma and moral injury that professional caregivers face and provides practical techniques to help yourself, your colleagues, and your patients or clients.
