TREAT® ‘REST AND RECOVERY’ SESSION
Hospital wards are complex and dynamic environments that rely on optimal individual and team performance. High workloads, long work hours and a lack of control in a hyper-kinetic work environment can lead to fatigue, stress and cognitive exhaustion. Staff need practical and helpful strategies that ensure they have moments to rest and recover. This helps staff function effectively so they can meet the demands of complex healthcare delivery.

Therapeutic Relaxation and Enhanced Awareness Training (Treat®) provides hospital programs that help individuals and teams to function at their best.

The popular Treat® ‘Rest and Recovery’ sessions have been especially designed for medical and nursing staff to help reduce cognitive and physical fatigue, stress and emotional exhaustion. These sessions are based on current research and have been shown to reduce burnout (Kang et al, 2019). They include mindfulness and psychological tools, combined with restorative rest, to improve calm, vitality, and emotional regulation.

The Treat® 'Rest and Recovery' sessions also provide the opportunity to learn practical relaxation and stress reduction techniques to use at home or at work, to help reduce anxiety, stress and overwhelm.

No prior experience is needed. You can sit or lie down and relax and recover with supportive props during the session.
