Empathy 3: Choosing Connection

All sessions are live-hosted, screen-to-screen 1.5 hour Continuing Education Sessions (CES) with PRI Trainers. All sessions will be presented via Zoom. PRI is unable to award hours for sessions previously attended. 

Please note that participants are responsible for ensuring online PRI sessions and the number of hours earned fulfill your system's requirements. Credentialing requirements for online sessions stipulate all participants must (1) individually register, and (2) log into the online session on their own device to received credit/hours for attending. Learners who participate in an online session via shared login will not receive a certificate. Learners are also required to attend sessions in full for credit hours to be awarded.  Participants will receive a survey email after the session, and will receive a certificate once the survey has been submitted. The link to the surveys are also available on the instructor site under "My Trainings." Note, participants must attend the entire session.

PRI supports low-risk driving choices. Therefore, we will remove anyone who is driving on a Zoom call hosted by our team. So as to not further distract, we will not chat or verbally ask questions first. You'll be able to join a different Zoom session, from a stationary place, at a later date.

Description: 
As Prime For Life (PFL) instructors and Prime Solutions (PS) counselors, research suggests empathy is a critical factor in working effectively with our clients.  But is this something that change?  Is this something we’re born with or is it something that can grow?  If we can grow it, how might we do so?  This session will look at research, as well as our personal experience to see if empathy can change and if it can, offer methods to help grow it.  Participants will learn about how “necessary evils” lead to disconnection, the role of thinking, feeling, and choice, how small nudges can increase empathy, and the value of a few specific practices.  
 
Goals: 
Participants will recognize that empathy is essential to our work, experience can cause it to erode, and regular practices can impact our empathy.   
 
Learning Objectives: 
 At the conclusion of the session, participants will:  

• Recognize that empathy can change.  
• Describe how situational factors, mindset, and choices all influence empathy. 
• Identify at least one tool for enhancing empathy with clients.
