The Cancer Support Community is pleased to invite you to join us on Thursday, January 27 from 1-2 pm EST for the second session in a series called What’s In Your First Aid Kit? Resources and Tools to Help You Survive and Thrive.
Most of us are aware of the obvious stressors and fatigue associated with working in helping health professions. What often goes undetected or unrecognized is how our unique identity factors may also contribute to helper fatigue and, at times, burnout. We will explore how sexual orientation and gender diverse identities (LGBTQ+), while at once personal and, at times, invisible unless disclosed, may also be a complex part of the professional and systemic healthcare landscape. When you’re a healthcare “superhero”, how do you make sure to loosen that cape in times of great stress?
1.0 hour of psychology Category I CE credit is available.
