Relational Practice 2: Creating Health and Promoting Relationships

In this course participants move beyond the personal discovery focus of Relational Practice 1 to a focus on relational caring.  The major emphasis of the course is relational practice with individuals, families and groups from diverse backgrounds of age, culture and experience.  This is an experiential course designed to deepen the participant’s understanding of caring, and how the connection between caring and relationship provides the context for health and healing. Participants explore theories and processes of caring, relational identity, development of self as a nurse and relational practice as enacted across a range of settings and contexts.
