Connecting the Pieces: Professional Quality of Life, Organizational Culture, and Lessons Learned through COVID
Session Description
This session will address the topic of professional quality of life (ProQOL - compassion fatigue, compassion satisfaction, secondary traumatic stress, and burnout) and its implications for recreational therapy agencies. During this session, participants will have the opportunity to evaluate the dimensions of their own professional quality of life and the organizational culture at their agencies during the COVID period. Through this session, you will learn about strategies to manage your professional quality of life as well as understand the direct correlation between the culture of an organization and the ability of its employees to thrive. To buttress discussion, findings from our research about the aforementioned topics we will elaborate upon.
