In this workshop, we explore the Stress First Aid (SFA) model based on five evidence-informed factors that help people recover from stress and adversity. These include the need for safety, calm, connection, sense of competence or self-efficacy, and hope.

At the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
– Explore evidence informed strategies to increase self efficacy, promote self care and mental wellness
– Begin to understand and utilize resiliency practices and Stress First Aid
– Define empathy and compassion, how they differ and what gets in their way
– Describe what makes us strong and what makes us vulnerable as caregivers
– Better understand what takes place in our mind and body when we experience stress
