Pathways to Stillness:  Stress, Energy Levels, Perspective, and our Spirit in the Face of Covid-19

Contributed by: Person Centred Universe
www.personcentreduniverse.com

For us care professionals working in long term care, this is a tremendously stressful time. There are so many changes in such a short space of time, and compromises in how we would like to deliver quality care. For our own wellbeing, as well as relationships with elders in our care, our colleagues, and loved ones at home, it is vital that we are each able to preserve our energy, perspective, and spirits.

In this webinar, presenters discuss and share know-how and practical examples on using stillness as a technique throughout each day to stay in touch with what brings you joy, and how you can continuously harness that as we navigate the uncharted waters of Covid-19.  Our hope is that following the session you can begin to actively use stillness techniques to help cope with the added pressures of our new reality.
