American Nurses Foundation Gratitude Podcast - Sharing Gratitude: How to Start with Your Team

American Nurses Foundation Gratitude Podcast - Sharing Gratitude: How to Start with Your Team, with Stacey Aggabao MBA MSN RN NEA-BC CEN CTACC and Jennifer Collins MN-AL RN

Welcome to a special series on Gratitude brought to you by the American Nurses Foundation through the generous support of the Center for Disaster Philanthropy’s Disaster Recovery Fund.

In this special series we will explore how developing gratitude practices can significantly improve your health and well-being, while also improving your work, safety, relationships, self-care, growth, and joy.

The American Nurses Foundation has undertaken this work as part of its Well-Being Initiative, which supports nurses’ mental health through the pandemic and beyond. Decades of research have shown that practicing gratitude is highly effective in promoting physical and psychological health, both at the individual and organizational levels. This podcast series builds up previous work conducted by the American Nurses Foundation in partnership with the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley.

Gratitude Practice for Nurses toolkit was designed to create easy-to-implement evidence based practices.

In this episode, we're talking with Stacey Aggabao, Service Director , Emergency Services, at Kaiser Permanente in Santa Clara, Ca., and Jenn Collins, Chief Nurse at Bay Area Hospital in southern Oregon. Getting started and sustaining gratitude is challenging. But learning from others and hearing their stories of success help us all develop sustainable practices in promoting gratitude. Together, we will journey through their experiences building gratitude practices into their lives and work.

Thank you for listening. Please share with your colleagues.
