Web-Based Training
This virtual experience provides support to your team by coming together, debriefing their experiences, and obtaining support from one another guided by a VITAL WorkLife senior consultant. Our objective is that participants will experience relief, perspective, and insights about the impact of the pandemic on themselves and colleagues, and a greater sense of what they will need to do in order to persevere.
Participants will learn what practices of self-care other colleagues find successful, be given the opportunity to share well being concerns during this challenging time and discover ways to build relationships for ongoing collegial support. This webinar is highly interactive, with the opportunity for small group sharing and discussion. We will include time at the end to review all the resources available through VITAL WorkLife.
