Considerations for Fueling Resilience

Course overview

Intentional resilience building is an often overlooked yet critical asset to successful rehabilitation. Fundamental, evidence-based skill sets to build resilience can be integrated into self-care plans to support optimal healing for patients and to nurture the health professionals who serve them. Each course in this series features a facet of the science of resilience, then offers an experiential component that can be immediately applied to home practice or used in a clinical setting. It is necessary to consider how well patients are resourced to be resilient through their rehabilitation. Quality of fuel in the form or food, sleep, breath, digestion, eliminatory function, and environment are important aspects of creating self-care plans.
