4 Continuing Education Credits for nurses and social workers (Certificate of Completion will be given to others upon request)
A four-hour CE class describing the holistic/integrative health paradigm with emphasis on the need for professional care-giver self-care. Topics include the mind-body connection, conventional VS holistic/integrative health care model, burn-out, nutrition, stress management, and coping and relaxation strategies including humor and communication. Experiential sessions allow you to begin using self-care strategies immediately. Be inspired, informed, and empowered as you learn to better care for yourself as you care for others. Presented by Amanda Murphy, RN, BA, HN-BC who shares her insights and experience of more than 40 years in health-care through informative, dynamic, thought-provoking workshops which invite participants to experience wellness. Guaranteed engagement, inspiration, and laughter!
Professional Statement of Purpose: The purpose of this activity is to enable the learner to understand and integrate holistic/integrative concepts, particularly self-care, into their personal and professional practices.
Participants must be present for entire presentation to earn CE’s; no partial credit given.
Amanda’s knowledge has come from many sources including personal experience, the best teacher. Her personal relationship with “dis-ease” and unenlightened care-givers has taught her the importance of self-care, stress management, and personal responsibility that lead to self-empowerment and wellness. Amanda has studied Holistic Health at VT College, with Seeds & Bridges Center for Holistic Nursing Education, with Bernie Siegel at ECaP (Exceptional Cancer Patients,) with Brian Luke Seaward of Paramount Wellness Institute, with the National Institute of Whole Health, and with many others.
