ABOUT THE COURSE
CAREGIVERS
RENEWAL COURSE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The
CAREGIVERS RENEWAL COURSE provides professional and volunteer
caregivers with practical, straightforward tools and strategies that effectively
overcome the circumstances that impede optimal performance throughout the day.
More importantly, the course imparts sound approaches for overcoming the
resignation and frustrations that erode the personal inspiration that so many
caregivers experience but will not admit.
By the completion of the
CAREGIVERS
RENEWAL
COURSE, participants will be able
to:
-
Reinterpret the meaning of the problems and upsets of daily life to provide occasions for service, care and self-nurturing;
-
Generate Renewal for themselves and others regardless of the circumstances;
-
Provide individual support for colleagues, clients, and families who are dealing with issues of burnout.
AN
OUTLINE OF THE
CAREGIVERS RENEWAL COURSE
The three-day course is designed to promote Renewal and truly honor the
participants. The course unfolds over three days of powerful and resonant work.
The
CAREGIVERS RENEWAL COURSE provides an atmosphere of "being taken cared
of," and allows participants to honor themselves as the people who are
providing crucial service to society,
friends and family members. The training allows Renewal to take place at the very
core of the participant's role as a caregiver.
DAY ONE
The participants begin by introducing themselves and by sharing their
experiences, thoughts and inspirations. The intention is to formulate new
relationships with other participants and to create an atmosphere of safety as
the foundation of the course. Day One also includes an overview of the course
"model" and an explanation of the goals and objectives of the course.
Day One concludes with an unforgettable occasion for Renewal
as participants are invited to attend a reception held in their honor, marking
the service each person has given to his or her community.
DAY TWO
Delving into the course "model," its key concepts are
covered, with assignments given throughout the day to reinforce the guidance of
the "model."
The day concludes with an exercise during which participants will gain
insight into how the "model" works by collaborating with another
participant.
Since the
CAREGIVERS RENEWAL COURSE is, at its essence, about Renewal,
the second day concludes with an invitation for each participant to partake in
one of several opportunities to experience Renewal
first-hand. These can include bodywork, guided imagery, viewing footage of
caregivers in action (Mother Theresa), etc.
Participants are given the chance to experiment with techniques and
tools they might never otherwise tryórenewing and beneficial activities they
may wish to include as daily practices for personal Renewal.
DAY THREE
Day Three begins with course participants pairing up and asking each
other a pre-defined set of questions:
Together, each pair of caregivers explores the issues that interrupt
their daily tasks and derail their personal vision for helping others.
While this exercise may sound simple in its execution, the results
cannot be dismissed: It is at this point that participants fully realize, and
accept, that they now have the ability to overlook the unremitting interruptions
inherent to daily life, as well as medical profession, and are now able to renew
themselves at any moment.
The
CAREGIVERS RENEWAL COURSE concludes with a life-changing
exploration of death & forgiveness, during which participants see how these
issues affect their professional and personal lives.
