Narrative Approaches to Resilience in Practice: Tools and Techniques for Well-Being
Oct. 23 - Dec. 4, 2025
Increasing numbers of healthcare practitioners and learners feel stretched thin. Narrative-based medicine can provide an accessible antidote to clinician stress as it promotes self-awareness, connection, and meaning-making.
Drawing upon current literature about stress and well-being in healthcare, as well as writing by clinician-authors (memoirs, poems, and personal essays), we will reflect on critical themes in professional practice.
Participants will enhance their skills of close reading, listening, and reflection during this highly interactive series that blends short, didactic presentations with hands-on activities, group discussion, and prompted writing exercises. Together, we’ll explore narrative approaches and resources for well-being through discussion, text reading, and reflective writing.
There will be ample opportunity to discuss ideas in a supportive and collegial environment, including the application of practices to professional and educational contexts. The instructor will offer optional resources for further exploration. There are no required readings or assignments.
