In a fast-paced healthcare workplace, it is critical that we find ways to foster resilience and empower staff to connect in meaningful ways with those around them. We registered for the Transforming Connections course with the idea that it would help us communicate with our patients better, and what we received from this training was so much more than that!
The skills we learned have deepened our empathy, allowed us to understand and practice both distress tolerance skills and mindful communication, and, most of all, have strengthened our team’s resilience on a fundamental level. We have truly acquired skills to be more effective with our families, our colleagues, and our patients on a daily basis.
Thank you Rosanna for gently guiding us through our development of these critical life skills!
