Routine Care. Real Consequences. Turning Emotional Labor into Empowerment 

Wednesday, February 25, 2026
2:00 - 3:30 p.m.

Zoom Webinar

Registration Fee: $25

OVERVIEW:  When clinicians hear “routine care” and “real consequences,” they already know what that means. They see the outcomes. They carry the responsibility. The stakes are familiar.

What this session adds is a simple but often unspoken layer:  routine care also has real consequences for the people doing the work.

The emotional labor of everyday care doesn’t end with the task itself. It affects how clinicians recover after shifts, how much of the work comes home with them, and how much space the job takes up outside of work.

This session makes that layer visible, not to change practice or add clinical skills, as they are already experts, but to give people language and a clearer choice in how those consequences show up.

OBJECTIVES: After attending this Zoom webinar, participants will be able to:

• Identify language for the emotional labor built into routine care,   

• Describe how the work affects them beyond the task, 

• Apply a way to relate to the work that supports connection, steadiness, and presence both at work and outside of it.
