Develop resilience and thrive as a care professional! Root Strength: A Health and Care Professionals' Guide to Minimizing Stress and Maximizing Thriving discusses principles of self-care that can help you prevent emotional fatigue and job burnout in highly stressful workplaces. An evidence-based approach examines how the care professional can develop self-compassion, mindfulness, relationships with co-workers, and perceived satisfaction with one's career. Written by noted educator and researcher Shannon Dames, this practical manual shows how you can apply these insights on the job and enhance your personal well-being in real-world health care settings. With the prevalence of mental health issues among care professionals - including rates of PTSD and major depressive disorder (MDD) - appearing much higher than that in the general population, never has a resource like this been more required!
