  1. Stress Busters: On the Job Tools: Finding the Calm Within. Stress is personal and individual. Stress management takes practice. Identify strategies adaptable in any setting. Participants will learn concrete strategies that can be used at anytime or anywhere that is needed. All it takes is needed is a moment or a minute. Customize an individual plan.

  2. Loneliness: How Can We Make a Difference. We all want to be seen, known and heard at all stages of our lives. Life events, personal and professional can interrupt our experience of connection and belonging to our community. Our roles, relationships and identity can shift causing a sense of disconnection. Participants will learn ways to foster connection for ourselves and others in our community.

  3. Mindfulness For Difficult Conversations: Find your style. Mindfulness deepens our self awareness. Self awareness leads to identifying the challenges we experience when engaging in challenging personal and professional conversations. Participants will learn engagement techniques and language to open up communication.

  4. Visiting at the End of Life: What Do I Say? What Can I Do? Providing guidance on supporting those who are facing serious illness. We may be unsure, and at a loss to find the words when someone we know is facing a serious and progressing illness. We may feel concerned that we may say or do the “wrong thing.” Participants will increase their comfort level and obtain communication skills to enrich this time of life for someone facing serious illness.

  5. Advance Care Planning Overview: A guide for everyone at any age and any stage of life. If you were to experience a medical emergency would anyone know your medical and healthcare preferences? Learn the components of an Advance Care Plan and thoughtful exercises to formulate your wishes.

  6. Companioning When There are No Words: Guidance on communicating and on being with someone in the final days and hours of life when conversation isn’t possible. Interactive exercises and concrete tools to enrich connection at this time of life.
