In the fast-paced and emotionally demanding fields of substance use prevention, treatment and recovery, clinicians can lose touch with the sense of purpose that drew them to this work. This 90-minute webinar offers space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most. Grounded in research on clinician well-being, participants will explore how cultivating a sense of purpose can protect against burnout, enhance resilience, and sustain long-term engagement in the field.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Describe the connection between purpose and clinician well-being, including how meaning-making can buffer against burnout and compassion fatigue.
- Reflect on personal values and motivations that contribute to a sense of meaning in their clinical work.
- Identify one intentional practice or mindset shift to help reconnect with purpose in daily professional life.
