Tampa Bay Health & Medical Preparedness Coalition

This virtual workshop will provide First Responders the ways and means to achieve resilience in ever-changing and stressful environments.

The Tampa Bay Health &amp; Medical Preparedness Coalition is partnering with the Emerald Coast Healthcare Coalition to bring you a very timely virtual workshop on First Responder Resilience. The COVID-19 Pandemic has impacted all aspects of the health and medical community, and one of our clearest lessons is that healthcare workers are certainly First Responders. This workshop will provide First Responders, whether full time or volunteer, an understanding of the balance between rewards, stressors, and frustrations of their job. It will provide interventions to job stressors that can be called psychological first aid, including the value of emotional support. This workshop will include how to have success in ever-changing environments. At the end of the workshop, participants will:<ul><li>Know the effects of resilience on the psychosocial well-being of themselves and others.</li><li>Have beginning knowledge on how to use a resilience program.</li><li>Know how and when resilience isn’t working and follow-on steps.</li><li>Know how to monitor and maintain resilience protocols for wellness and self-care.</li></ul>This workshop will be presented by Frank L.
