Stop Drop and Roll-Being Mindful in Conflict Conversations Post Covid
How can a veterinarian be mindful of the needs of their clients and staff while appreciating and acknowledging not everyone is presenting their best selves? How can we navigate this new journey post Covid-19 without becoming defensive or negative?
Teaching the techniques of mindfulness, steeped in the Stop, Drop and Roll program, gives attendees an easy method to implement self-care tools while also responding to their clients and staff during these uncertain times. Stop, Drop and Roll helps practitioners take the temperature of a room and assess how everyone is feeling, thereby enabling them to shift oppositional thinking [their own and others] to foster better dialogues and outcomes in even the thorniest of situations.
Attendees left this short Town Hall with an acute ability to read reactions to trauma brought on as a side effect of COVID-19, while understanding that others are responding differently to difficult circumstances and situations. Maintaining mindfulness and responding with empathy is key.
