OVERVIEW:
Many studies have been conducted showing a high prevalence of burnout, compassion fatigue, and moral distress among helping professionals. Specifically, a study by the American Psychological Association found that about 75% of helping professionals reported experiencing burnout. There is also a growing body of research suggesting a connection between good gut health and overall well-being. Focusing on gut and brain health could contribute to a reduction in burnout and compassion fatigue. The gut-brain axis plays a crucial role in influencing various aspects of mental health and stress response. In this session, Rajitha Bommakanti, RN, BSN, NBC-HWC, CCM, FCN, will provide valuable insights into the intricate connection between gut health, brain health, and overall well-being. Participants will explore practical tips and strategies to enhance both gut and brain health, equipping them with the tools to foster a holistic approach in their personal and professional lives.
By attending our workshop, you will be able to:
- Discover the scientific foundations of how gut health impacts brain function and emotional well-being.
- Name actionable strategies to support and improve gut health.
- Apply the knowledge gained to enhance professional effectiveness in the helping field.
