Webinar Handouts:
Are you feeling stressed, anxious or overwhelmed by having your life turned upside down by the COVID-19 pandemic? You are not alone. To help our members navigate the challenges of these uncertain times, the Pain SIG Board* has invited our past president, Carolyn McManus, PT, MPT, MA, to bring us together for a webinar on Mindfulness as Medicine: Practical Strategies for Stressful Times. This webinar is designed to support your stability, resilience and wisdom while you navigate the changes and uncertainty brought on by the pandemic. Evidence demonstrates healthcare providers who receive training in mindfulness show decreases in stress and burnout, increases in feelings of personal accomplishment and an improved ability to listen and respond to patients effectively. Upon completing this webinar, you will be able to define mindful awareness and discuss 4 mindful attitudes, describe 4 mindful awareness training activities and how they can be integrated into self-care, discuss evidence for role of mindfulness training in reducing stress and promoting well-being in healthcare providers and access online resources for mindfulness training. We hope you will join us for this program designed to help you find inner peace and steadiness in these turbulent times and, from a place of your own calm and centeredness, provide care and comfort to your patients and community.
