Resilience for Health Care Professionals Mini-Bootcamp
For all Health Care Providers: To meet needs in our current public health crisis, a 2.5-day Resilience Bootcamp has been pared down to SIX tightly-focused 90-minute modules, offered over six weeks so that health care providers and leadership can stop, breathe, and take care of themselves. This course is first aid in the form of Resilience Training for all of us who are directly involved in health care – AND to any who are working hard behind the scenes caring for us in our missions.
In partnership with Virtue Medicine, this Mini-Bootcamp helps each of us quickly understand and immediately practice what is critical to building RESILIENCE in this time, for both survival and healing. As we put it into practice for ourselves, we can efficiently help our teams and patients do the same in the way we talk, listen, and map out our meaningful paths in each moment, even in suffering.

Communication Ethics
Culture and Identity
Deaf Culture and Signed Languages
Disability and Access
Gender and Sexuality
Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Access and Social Justice (IDEAS)
Intersectionality and Hybridity

I’m happy to set up a call to discuss what may work best with your needs, context and budget.
These are just a few of the workshops that I offer.
What Workshop Clients Have to Say:
“Very well delivered and clear. Expanded my mind!”
“This was one of the best Intercultural Leadership Development sessions in years. Please have her back for more.”
“I’ll use it all the time - as a counselor it’s great to learn new ways to let people in and work with them!”
“Elizabeth is all about validating experience, drawing out thoughts from everyone. She strikes a good balance between leaning into a hot topic, and being careful not to let one or two dominant voices be at the center each and every week. She is clearly well-practiced at leading these kinds of discussions.”
“Dr. Parks’ presentation was the best one I have ever heard. If I don’t apply it, I will be doing myself and my community a disservice.”
