Navigating Distraction: Systemic Factors Behind the Struggle to Stay Present

  • LIve Webinar United States (map)

Course Description:

In today's fast-paced world, many people experience challenges with focus and attention. For social workers, the ability to be fully present in both professional and personal interactions is essential. This training delves into the latest research on environmental and societal changes contributing to increased 'brain fog' and diminished focus. While topics like smartphones, screens, and social media will be covered, the training also goes deeper, examining factors such as pollution, diet, sleep, and more. Rather than focusing solely on individual solutions, this session emphasizes the broader systemic issues, moving away from a 'blame-the-victim' approach. Participants will engage in discussions to better understand these factors, apply knowledge to improve their own well-being, and empower clients with greater awareness and support.
