SUMMARY:February Education Session
DESCRIPTION:Moral Distress: Why Am I Feeling This Way?\nWe have all faced impactful moments in healthcare that linger in our memories\, leaving us drained\, overwhelmed\, and powerless.  If these emotions go unaddressed\, they can lead to moral distress and injury\, particularly in challenging settings like end-of-life care.  Acknowledging the signs\, causes\, and limitations linked to moral distress is the initial stride toward delivering exceptional care.  In addition to recognizing its impact\, we must also develop strategies and practices to address moral distress and foster resilience among those providing hospice palliative care. \n  \nDate: Wednesday\, February 28\, 2024 \nFormat: Webinar – Participants can attend via Zoom either individually or as part of a viewing group hosted at both the Erie Shores and Windsor Campuses.
