Migrant Clinicians Network (MCN) is pleased to offer a four-part Learning Collaborative (LC) for managers. The LC sessions will be provided in English. We have designed a curriculum specifically to support health care workers themselves and their teams. The curriculum emphasizes ways to strengthen individual, team and organizational resilience to better face current and future personal and workplace challenges. The curriculum addresses topics such as: empathic distress, moral injury, grief, adaptive change, and team building.

Participants will view a ten-topic pre-recorded webinar on their own, which will be followed by a highly interactive, four-session virtual LC in which we will brainstorm strategies together. There will be homework between sessions and resources for additional information and skill building. Participants should plan on a ten hour commitment, of which six hours will be in small, facilitated discussion groups. The pre-recorded webinars, associated slides and resource packet will be made available to all participating managers. The content of each session builds on each prior session; for this reason, we ask for a four-session commitment. The sessions are at no cost to participants.
 

Each of the four sessions is 90 minutes long.
 

Kaethe Weingarten, Ph.D., directs the Witness to Witness (W2W) Program for the Migrants Clinician Network. The goal of W2W is to help the helpers, primarily serving health care workers, attorneys and journalists working with vulnerable populations. She worked at Harvard Medical School (1981-2017) where she was an Associate Clinical Professor of Psychology and at the Family Institute of Cambridge (1982-2009). She founded and directed the Program in Families, Trauma and Resilience at the Family Institute of Cambridge.  Internationally, she has taught in Africa, Australia, Canada, Europe and New Zealand, where she was a Fulbright Specialist.  Dr. Weingarten’s work focuses on the development and dissemination of a witnessing model.  One prong of the work is about the effects of witnessing violence and trauma in the context of domestic, inter-ethnic, racial, political, and other forms of conflict. The other prong of the witnessing work is in the context of healthcare, illness, and disability.  Her work on reasonable hope has been widely cited.
