68% of Alberta nurses are considering leaving the profession
Stress, burnout, and a lack of support are major factors (AAN Dec 2024). This experience of burnout is not isolated to nurses. Lauren and Ber bring unique Two-Eyed Seeing and Indigenous ways of Knowing into this one-of-a-kind 2-hour session designed for Regulated Professionals. We will explore how prevention and recovery can be approached through a different lens. One that connects personal awareness with professional accountability and sustainable practice.
