In addition to learning well-being concepts and strategies to help caregivers flourish both personally and professionally when faced with stressful situations, they will also experience and reflect on lessons from the most up-to-date scientific research, including the fields of positive psychology, emotional intelligence, neuroscience, and lifestyle well-being.
