This webinar is provided through ACAPT's National Consortium of Clinical Educators (NCCE).
"Healing Out Loud" is all about demonstrating healthy coping strategies and modeling self-care in a turbulent world when others may feel lost or alone. In addition to regular life stresses and challenges, the COVID pandemic and its required changes to our daily lives have added additional challenges to our clinicians and learners. Our clinics have been turned upside down and we are now struggling to find our "new normal". This 2-hour presentation will explore how our needs have changed as physical therapists, instructors, and SCCEs while noting the evolving needs of our physical therapy trainees.
The webinar offers examples and paths for educators to
- Discover the importance of sharing their individual stories and in hearing/listening to others.
- Examine definitions and terms to better understand emotional granularity.
- Acquire strategies for self-care and ways of encouraging affective domain discussions in their clinics/education environments.
- Use personal and evidence-based strategies for instructors and students to improve relationships in educational environments.
- Reflect on and evaluate potential barriers and strategies to overcome these barriers for implementation of healing out loud and vulnerability in the educational environments.
