Wellness Collaborative Meeting

Happy end of summer to my fellow COMSEP’ers.  The deadline for workshop submissions is fast approaching and we wanted to revive the energy from the Wellness Collaborative from the annual meeting.

The Wellness Collaborative will have a meeting on Wednesday September 10th at 8 PM EST (5 PM PST) to discuss the upcoming year.

Agenda:

• Introductions/Icebreaker
• Overview of Wellness Collaborative and ways to be involved
• Workshop brainstorming
  • Potential topics:
    • Toxic Negativity
    • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to develop coping skills/navigate difficult transitions (May link with “Toxic negativity” idea)
    • Finding Joy through value-based career planning
    • Wellness in the Clerkship Space – How to Support Students through the stressors of the Pediatrics Clerkship (In collaboration with the Clerkship Collaborative)
    • How to meet the needs of medical students with trauma histories
• Breakout groups for workshops

If you cannot attend the meeting but would like to be on a workshop committee or have an idea for a workshop, please email one of the collaborative leaders.

Hope to see you on Zoom in September and in person in Vancouver,
