Affiliate Connect

Wed, 11/17/2021 - 1:00pm EST to 2:00pm

All Affiliates are welcome to join this discussion and networking opportunity hosted monthly by Executive Director Charleen Katra. 

This month we will be joined by Michelle O’Rourke, RN MA, nurse, author, and consultant on Parish Nursing, Hospice Palliative Care, and Spirituality.

We will discuss Caring for Ourselves When We Care for Others.

Caring for and ministering to others can be exhausting emotionally, physically and spiritually.  The Pandemic has augmented these challenges exponentially, leaving staff at risk for issues such as burnout, fatigue and moral distress.  Join us as we explore strategies to maintain wellness both personally and professionally during this difficult time. 

Affiliates will receive a Zoom link a week prior to the meeting. 

Check to see if you are an Affiliate here.
