Program Description: Professional caregiving is already a challenging task. Healthcare has been facing particularly difficult times with financial and regulatory uncertainty in recent years. In 2020, we've encountered a new opportunity to deepen our emotional intelligence, mindfulness, and resilience that will allow us to not only survive but actually thrive through these, and other, circumstances. This presentation reviews the literature related to the moral distress, moral injury, and various forms of trauma professional caregivers are facing in our current reality and practical solutions for building greater resilience and post-traumatic growth in ourselves, our teams, and those whom we seek to serve.
