Who This Workshop Is For
Most professional training teaches how to care for others, but rarely teaches how to care for ourselves. This workshop is for Indigenous and non-Indigenous professionals who want practical tools to prevent and recover from burnout, overwhelm, and vicarious trauma. Especially relevant for: • Indigenous helpers and community leaders • Nurses • Psychologists • Social workers • Counsellors • Physicians • Occupational therapists
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.
Two-Eyed Seeing invites us to ask a different question
Two-Eyed Seeing is a healing-centred approach that brings together Indigenous ways of knowing - grounded in land, relationship, and lived experience - with Western science and professional knowledge. By learning to see through both perspectives, we can draw on the strengths of each to support healing, balance, and wellbeing.
