Our Grief Seminars

Emotional and Immune Resilience: The Need of the Hour with Dr. Amit Sood 

Tuesday, June 8th from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM

 

This webinar is an introduction to Stress Management and Resiliency Training (SMART), an approach developed by Dr. Amit Sood at Mayo Clinic.  

 

For years, Morris-Baker has hosted our seminar series supporting our community’s caring professionals. Due to the pandemic, we decided to offer a webinar with a universal topic appropriate for all members of our community—not just the professional community and not specific to grief. I think we can all agree that 2020-21 has been an unusually stressful time.

 

This webinar is for anyone interested in how stress can affect our emotional and physical well-being. We are confident that you will walk away with an increased understanding of stress and with practical tools you can use right away. We hope you will feel empowered by the information and inspired to learn more about the subject. 

 

  

A Deeper Dive Into SMART

 

SMART, developed by Dr. Amit Sood at Mayo Clinic, has been tested and found effective for decreasing symptoms of stress, anxiety, and burnout, and increasing resilience, well-being, mindfulness, happiness, and positive health behaviors.

 

The training addresses two aspects of human experience: attention and interpretation. Our brain’s attention, in its default state, incessantly wanders and instinctively focuses on the negative aspects of the day. This excessive ‘dwell time’ in the default mode correlates with symptoms of anxiety, depression, low engagement, and attention deficit. It also fatigues our brains.

 

SMART offers a way out of this dilemma by engaging the brain’s focused mode—not only to experience more uplifting emotions, but also to develop better focus, enhance creativity and productivity, improve engagement, deepen relationships, and find greater purpose in life.

 

Learning Objectives:

 

  1. Review and assess neuroscience and behavioral aspects of human experience, particularly with respect to stress, burnout, resiliency, performance, professionalism, and well-being.
  2. Identify and integrate practical approaches to enhance engagement and emotional intelligence and thereby decrease stress and anxiety, increase resilience, enhance performance and professionalism, and improve relationships.
