Creating Healing Relationships

Course overview

A healing relationship involves two major elements - a relationship with the self (intrapersonal relationship) and relationships with others (interpersonal relationships). Each is critical to creating a healing environment for an organization's staff and clients. Healing relationships support the social, spiritual, psychological, physical, and behavioral components of people and the organization. These relationships stimulate the healing abilities inherent in patients/clients, employees, and families. Optimal healing environments support and enhance the intentions, health behaviors, treatments, and buildings of all who share the space. The outcome of this course is for the learner to describe the elements of intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships that support healing, including the components of the C.A.R.I.N.G. model of self-care, the role of balance and thriving in healing relationships, the dimensions and characteristics of a healing presence, and the principles of relationship-centered care (RCC).
