People who work in healthcare offer unique contributions to the health of those in their care that are vast and multi-dimensional – yet often under-appreciated. Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experiences (HOPE) is a framework that can strengthen workplace cultures by creating access to four building blocks that are essential for individual and team wellbeing – relationships, environments, engagement, and emotional growth. In this interactive session, participants will learn about the growing body of research showing how positive experiences drive healthy development and mitigate the impacts of adversity as well as how to use the HOPE Framework to strengthen individual resilience and create more HOPEful workplaces.
