2021 May Chapter Meeting: Resiliency and Wellness

ATD Dallas May Chapter Meeting

Speakers: Natasha Carter and Spencer Clancy

How resilient are you and your employees?  Resilience and wellness have become commonplace terms over the past year during the pandemic. Wellness is frequently used as an indicator of resilience, particularly when referring to resilience as a process of overcoming difficulties, adversity, or trauma.  Come learn how one Health Care System focused on resiliency to help with unplanned change.  And, learn from a Health Advocate on resources available for organizational wellness and self-care.   

At this month’s ATD meeting we will focus on Mental Health and Wellness through a moderated panel discussion.  You’ll hear from the System Director of Learning and Development at Christus Health on their six pillars of resilience created to sustain well-being and safety for frontline clinicians.  You’ll also hear from a UnitedHealthCare Onsite Health Advocate who partnered in designing an effective health and wellness program for TD Industries.

By the end of this session, you’ll be able to:

• Identify resources available for your organization's health and wellness 
• Explore alternative approaches to resilience
• Identify strategies for self-care
