10-HOUR CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAM FOR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS

THIS PROGRAM IS BEING OFFERED IN COLLABORATION WITH MERCY CENTER AUBURN

The system's view of health expands the understanding of well-being beyond the homeostatic focus on mechanisms by placing health and disease on a continuum and considering individuals within their biopsychosocial contexts.

This program introduces foundational neurobiological principles that impact individual and interpersonal resilience and provides practical skills based in positive psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness practice that support the brain-body system's natural capacity to heal and to anticipate new challenges. Areas of focus include:

• Allostasis
• Physiological Resilience
• Cognitive Resilience
• Interpersonal Resilience
