As a follow-up to last year’s workshop on “Nonviolent Communication in the Classroom,” this interactive workshop will discuss the application of Nonviolent Communication (NVC) in health care workplace environments. Our discussion will circle around the book Humanizing Health Care: Creating Cultures of Compassion With Nonviolent Communication, by Melanie Sears, RN, MBA, PhD. We will discuss some sample stories from Sears’ book, as a way to engage in self-reflection on our own communication styles, and how we might benefit from the NVC model.
