As health care providers working with WorkSafeBC, you show up every day for others — helping them recover, rebuild, and return to themselves. But in the process, it’s easy to lose sight of your own well-being. The long hours, emotional labour, and constant demand to “be there” can take a quiet toll, leading to fatigue, compassion depletion, and burnout.
In this interactive and uplifting session, Dr. Shahana invites you to pause — not to do less, but to remember why you started doing this work in the first place. Drawing from her experience as a physician, mental health educator, and advocate for workplace well-being, she’ll share practical, evidence-based tools to rebuild your emotional resilience, strengthen your mindset, and reconnect with your purpose.
You’ll leave reminded that you are not alone, that what you do matters deeply, and that taking care of yourself is the most powerful way to continue caring for others.
