Title: Navigating Uncertainty and Moral Distress
Speaker and Degree: Jake Van Epps, PhD, Associate Director of the Resiliency Center, University of Utah
Description: This presentation, "Walking the Tightrope: Navigating Uncertain Times and Moral Distress," from the University of Utah's Resiliency Center provides a framework for healthcare professionals to understand and manage the stress associated with uncertainty and ethical challenges. It introduces the "3 R's" - Recognize, Recover, and Rebuild - as a structured approach to foster resilience. The content guides participants in identifying their position on a stress continuum, offers strategies for each stage, and outlines actionable steps for fostering supportive and resilient teams, ultimately aiming to build a healthier work environment.
Learning Objectives: Based on this presentation I…
1… can define resilience and identify their own state on the stress continuum (Ready, Reacting, Injured, Ill).
2… have learned to apply the "[re]cognize, [re]cover, and [re]build" framework to navigate personal and professional uncertainty.
3… can discuss team-based strategies to adapt to the current national climate, and support impacted colleagues.
CEU’s have been applied for all in‐service programs through the Utah Psychological Association. CEU’s are free for Guild members & $5 for non‐members, per meeting. CEUs for Plan-B events have been applied for via NASW
AASECT hours: Exciting news for American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT) providers! The Guild is collaborating with our friends at The Healing Group Institute (THGI) to issue AASECT continuing education hours for the Guild's in-services. Look for the link to THGI's website, to apply for AASECT hours, every month, at the bottom of the emails titled: “Zoom Link.” These are the emails sent out before each in-service, that contains the Zoom link to our in-services, and the link to our CEU evaluation form. If you want both professional UPA-approved CEs and AASECT CEs you will need to fill out both evaluations. THGI is offering attendees 1.5 AASECT CEs for each of our 1.5 hours in-services for a fee of $35. You will be given the opportunity to apply when you attend the event.
