    Episode 12: Journals of Hope

    The writer Joan Didion opines — “we tell ourselves stories in order to live”. When one is in the depths of a health crisis stories matter as a way to gain hope, healing, and understanding. Research has suggested that writing about our experiences, in the form of journaling, may be helpful in managing our stress and building resilience. In this episode of Raising Resilience, Pam Ressler speaks with author Faith Wilcox about hope and healing through journaling in pediatric intensive care units. A longtime resident of greater Boston, Faith leads a journal writing program, Journals of Hope, at MassGeneral Hospital for Children for patients and their families designed to give participants the opportunity to express themselves, alleviate stress, celebrate victories, and honor their grief. As co-chair of MassGeneral Hospital for Children’s Family Advisory Council, she works with parents and medical staff to improve the lives of patients and their families.  Faith believes that self-expression through writing leads to healing. Her writing is reflective of a growing body of medical research about “narrative identity,” which illuminates that how we make sense of what happens to us and the meaning we give to experiences beyond our control directly impact our physical and psychological outcomes. Faith learned these truths firsthand when her thirteen-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, was diagnosed with a rare bone cancer that took her life. Faith’s journey from grief and despair to moments of comfort and peace taught her life-affirming lessons, which she shares today through her writing. Faith is the author of Hope Is A Bright Star: A Mother’s Memoir of Love, Loss, and Learning to Live Again that will be published in June 2021. Faith is also the author of Facing Into The Wind: A Mother’s Healing After the Death of Her Child, a book of poetry.

    Episode 11: Caring for the Caregivers

    Nurses are the largest sector of the healthcare professions — with over 4 million nurses in the United States and more than 20 million nurses worldwide. As the COVID-19 pandemic has swept into our lives over the past year, nurses have played an ever more important role in the health and wellness of our nation and the world. However, nurses are also the canaries in the coal mine of healthcare — sounding the alarm on the impact of the pandemic on stress and resilience among our healthcare professionals. It is essential that those who care for us also have the tools and resources to care for themselves. The American Nurses Association stepped up, even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, to offer innovative tools for nurses and non-nurses to focus on their own health and wellness — from a holistic standpoint of body, mind and spirit. As the pandemic has continued to rage on, these tools and resources are even more necessary and helpful. During this episode of Raising Resilience, Holly Carpenter, BSN, RN, Senior Policy Advisor for the American Nurses Association’s Nursing Practice and Work Environment Department, joins Pam Ressler in discussing: * The unique stressors nurses are now facing * Ways to build resilience during challenging times * Resources to address stress, wellness and resilience for nurses and others Here are links to the free resources that are discussed during this episode of Raising Resilience: Healthy Nurse, Healthy Nation The Well-Being Initiative ANA Nurse Suicide Prevention/Resilience ANA COVID-19 Video Education Series

    Episode 8: Control During Times of Uncertainty

    We are now half a year into navigating a new (ab)normal in our lives due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The return to school and childcare is on the minds of parents, kids and teachers, along with the myriad of unknowns that coexist with the logistics of returning to group settings. How do we strengthen our resilience in times of increased stress and anxiety — and maintain a sense of control during times of uncertainty? In this episode of Raising Resilience, Pam is joined by Dr. Jody Thomas to discuss the unique challenges posed this year, the ubiquitous nature of dealing with stress in our lives and the lives of our children, and evidence-based tools to help us all cope more effectively. Dr. Jody Thomas is a clinical psychologist, and specialist in pediatric medical illness and trauma. A well-known expert in pain who teaches internationally on the subject, she is also a founder and the former Clinical Director of the Packard Pediatric Pain Rehabilitation Center at Stanford, and a former Assistant Professor at the Stanford University School of Medicine. Though she now lives in Denver, CO, she still serves as Adjunct Faculty for Stanford, supervising and teaching. An active consultant for the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford, she directs projects on the integration and innovation of pain management using tech-based intervention. Her passion for bringing together the power of medical science, technology and design to transform the way we think about kids and pain led her to create the Meg Foundation, a non profit dedicated to empowering families around pain. In 2019, Dr. Thomas was chosen for the prestigious MayDay Fellowship, which supports pain experts in assuming public leadership roles to help end human suffering through public discourse.
