Describe the community service/professional activity/s you attended or participated with (be
specific about the purpose and your role):
The professional activity I attended was the resiliency training. The resiliency training
was originally developed for veterans and to help them improve their self-resiliency skills. The
resiliency training utilized multiple approaches including explanation, demonstration, sample
situations, and group discussions to introduce and discuss the methods such as letting go, change
perspective and meditation that we can use to help better deal with a stressful situation. The
training utilized multiple group discussions, so the role I played was a student/healthcare
professional. I participated in the group discussions and shared with the group members about
the ways that I had used in the past to deal with multiple distresses in life and also shared with
the group members about the potential ways I could have used to deal with the situations.
Where was this held and what was was program/activity length?
The activity was held at the University of Arizona, College of Nursing, and Room 117.
The Length of the activity was eight hours long.
Discuss the value of this experience to you (be specific).
The value of this experience to me was to reflect on my ways of dealing with stress and
to learn different approaches to improve my self-resiliency skills. As I go into the health care
field, I realize that it can be a very stressful career, and so many people in the field have

experienced job-related burn out. It is important to take care of myself before I take care of
others, and it is important to realize signs of stress and signs of burn out. The class taught me
ways to think positively and ways to change my way of dealing with stress and unexpected life
events. I think the skills I have learnt in this training will be very helpful right now for me to use
to deal with the stress I have from school and it will be very beneficial for me to deal with future
crisis.
Would you recommend this specific communnity/professional experience in the future; why or
why not? (Describe)
I would recommend this professional experience for the future. As a health care
professional, it is very easy to get stressed out and potentially burnt out. It is very important to
know how to take care of ourselves first before we go into the filed and try to take care of
someone else. It is essential to know the different approaches that we can take to reduce our
stress and to better manage the situation. The resilience training simply taught us different ways
that we can take to deal with stressful event, and I think that it is very helpful for any health care
professionals or any careers that are high stress related.
