Staff Booster Session - Tolerating Uncertainty During the COVID-19 Pandemic
COVID-19 has challenged health system workers to change how we conduct ourselves in the workplace, our homes and our social connections. These changes can sometimes feel overwhelming.
To support health system workers, Shared Health and our Psychological Health & Safety Committee partners have brought together skilled trainers from across the province to facilitate a number of Staff Booster Sessions.
The Staff Booster Sessions are short, timely, and relevant presentations designed to fit into busy schedules. Between 15 and 20 minutes in length, topics will include stress management, self-care and dealing with uncertainty. Booster Sessions will be recorded and made available as a streaming video on demand.
New Staff Booster Sessions begin shortly – register now!
Session Dates:
- Tuesday, June 15 from 12:30 to 1 pm (live session)
- Saturday, June 19 from 2 to 2:30 pm (rebroadcast)
- Monday, June 21 from 4 to 4:30 am (rebroadcast)
- Friday, June 25 from 12 to 12:30 pm (rebroadcast)
Session Description:
Uncertainty has always been a part of daily life, but the COVID-19 pandemic has amplified this beyond normal human experience. Difficulty tolerating uncertainty can lead to heightened anxiety, worry, and exhaustion. In this session, you will learn what situations tend to provoke feelings of
uncertainty and why some strategies for managing uncertainty may be backfiring on us during the pandemic. We will also focus on practical tools for coping with the unknown during this period of prolonged stress.
Leads/Directors (or delegates) review and share the printable memo with staff.
