Each year, the Because We Care Workshop provides a meaningful space for healthcare professionals and caregivers to explore the complexities of grief and renewal. Now in its 28th year, this workshop, Honoring Loss, Renewing Strength: A Workshop on Keepsakes and Compassion Fatigue, offers valuable insights into bereavement support, sibling grief, and the impact of keepsakes in the healing process. Additionally, it addresses the challenges of compassion fatigue and burnout, equipping attendees with practical strategies for self-care and resilience. Join us on May 1, 2025, at Ardmore Baptist Church in Winston-Salem, NC, for a day of learning, connection, and renewal.

Two recent guests on our Healthcare Insights in Northwest North Carolina podcast share their expertise, experience, and insights into headaches and headache research and treatment.

This course presents the inter-relatedness of joy in work, burnout, safety, and silence in the healthcare setting, and the role that organizational 'just culture' has in optimizing clinician satisfaction and patient safety.

In response to a need expressed by several practices in our region, Practice Support (Lara Dickerson, MHA, BA and Leslie McDowell, DNP, ANP-BC, RN at Northwest AHEC) created an on-demand learning module entitled, “Managing Difficult Patient Situations”. The learning module offers 1 credit hour and registration is FREE.

The module has garnered 511 registered learners since its release in January of 2024, from all corners of North Carolina and beyond! The diverse crowd represents ten different states (AK, CA, GA, MI, MN, OH, OR, SC, TX, VA) and included representation from 96 counties in NC.

This learning module was also incorporated into a Workplace Safety Toolkit produced by the American Academy of Ambulatory Care Nurses for its membership in June, and now reaches a national audience of nurse leaders and educators.
 

Many practice settings are experiencing angry, hostile, and even aggressive behavior from patients, parents, caregivers, and others.
