Date: 02/25/21

Good Afternoon Providers,

Arizona Complete Health has an exciting training opportunity coming up for you and your staff.  We want to provide you with a summary of the course, as well as ask you to complete the survey to provide feedback around possible training times that will work best for your group.

Resiliency: 5 Skills - Interactive, Skill Development Course:

Dr. Michael Marks and his organization, One Tree Learning Institute, developed this evidence-based four-hour course after decades of providing direct care to veterans, first responders and medical professionals.

Dr. Marks and Arizona Complete Health’s Supervisor of First Responder Services, Amy Devins met a few years ago and together envisioned formatting the curriculum so that it was less academic, more practical and digestible for our target audience - people in high risk professions. To reach a wider audience, they filmed video segments in keeping with that vision. The five resiliency skills we work on in the course are Belief, Strength, Trust, Persistence and Adaptability.

The course uses associative learning and problem based learning techniques and asks participants to work with either a partner or in small groups. Throughout the course, participants are asked to write their responses then share with their partner or group. For each of the five skills, the format is three segments:

  • Participants are asked to think about a time in their life they used the skill.
  • They are then asked to apply the skill to a current challenge.
  • Lastly, they are asked to brainstorm key words or phrases for each skill.

Prior to COVID-19 restrictions, this four-hour training course was facilitated in-person. In order to continue to provide this critical training during the pandemic, we have pivoted to a virtual Zoom format.
