Healthy Healers Course

Purpose: To help you create a process so that you can maintain your new Healthy Healer skills after the course!

Part of being a Healthy Healer is developing new habits and new ways of managing challenging situations.  In Modules 1-5 we asked you to collect the activities, quotes, handouts or resources that meant the most to you, for your plan.  Now its time to use those activities as a guide to help you decide what you want to work on.  The Healthy Healer Plan is divided into three parts:

•    Personal Care Plan
•    Workplace Plan
•    Community Plan

This week’s assignment will focus on developing Part I: the Personal Care Plan.  The purpose is to help you create a process to maintain your new Healthy Healer skills after the course. You want your plan to be meaningful and relate to your personal wellness goals. For example, your plan could relate to mindfulness, positive self-talk, work-to-home transitions, physical activity, nutrition, spirituality, or whatever else contributes to your personal wellness. 

Healthy Healer Personal Care Plan Directions: 1. Create one or two goals (only one is required) you would like to accomplish in the next 6 months related to your personal wellness. What activities, ideas or tips from modules 1- 5 inspired you? (All these are resources for your plan.) 2.  After you chose your goal, consider the following questions: •    What small steps can you take in the beginning? •    Who can help you, join you, or support you? •    What will you need to be successful?  What will keep you motivated? •    What specific activities or strategies will move you toward your goal? •    How will you know (or other people know) that you are successful? 3. Fill out the Personal Healthy Healers Plan (form) as much as possible. (Note: some columns might not be useful.)  To give you an idea of what a Personal Plan might look like, we filled out a sample form for you.   Click here to download the Healthy Healers Plan Form                4.  Submit your Personal Healthy Healers Plan (assignment)  to your facilitator by clicking here!
