Managing Your Wellbeing
Workshop:

Critical Skills for Interpersonal and Clinical Effectiveness

Date TBD | 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM | Toronto, ON

Workshop Description

  • You care for others every day—but how do you tend to yourself?

  • This interactive workshop is designed for physiotherapists and rehabilitation professionals who want to build long-term emotional wellbeing, prevent burnout, and enhance the quality of care they deliver.

  • Through a mix of evidence-based learning, guided reflection, and small-group discussion, you’ll explore how your emotions influence your clinical work and vice versa, and how self-care can become a consistent practice.

What You'll Learn:

  • Shift your mindset around self-care—from a luxury (occasional vacations) to a necessary part of your daily clinical practice (in-the-moment skills).

  • Recognize intense emotions that can arise during patient encounters and learn how to work with them.

  • Understand the role of emotions through a biopsychosocial lens and how they impact the rehab process —for you and your patients.

  • Create a personalized action plan to support your well-being specific to your needs as a helping professional.

Who Should Attend?

  • Practicing physiotherapists and rehabilitation professionals at any stage of their career

  • Students and new grads looking to build sustainable habits early
