About the Event

In an era where healthcare complexity continues to rise, understanding the fundamental role of the nervous system - both in ourselves as providers and in our patients - offers a unifying framework for truly collaborative care. This 90-minute session introduces a practical, neuroscience-informed approach to healthcare delivery that transcends disciplinary boundaries. Through the lens of Safety, Connection, and Engagement, participants will explore how nervous system awareness can transform clinical interactions, enhance team collaboration, and improve patient outcomes. Drawing from Polyvagal Theory and contemporary neuroscience, participants will learn to recognize and respond to nervous system states in themselves and others, creating an embodied understanding of what makes healthcare interactions either nurturing or challenging. Through experiential exercises, case examples, and practical applications, participants will gain tools they can immediately implement in their clinical settings. This session is designed for healthcare professionals across disciplines who seek to enhance their clinical effectiveness while supporting their own wellbeing and that of their colleagues.

Live Event This is a live online event. It will be conducted via Zoom Webinar.
