Occupational Safety and Security
Care for yourself as you care for clients
This course by Courtney Polk, MSN, RN, IBCLC, fulfills the IBCLC exam course requirement for Occupational Safety and Security for Health Professionals … but it does much more!
Polk delivers content that speaks directly to your life as a lactation care provider, giving you the tools to keep yourself safe and thriving in your work. For example:
- If you conduct home visits, how can you care for your body during hours in the car or on the phone?
- If a parent tells you household members are sick, do you need to cancel or switch to telehealth? How do you decide?
- Healthcare facilities can be stressful places, and interpersonal violence is a real risk — do you know how to spot the warning signs and protect yourself?
- Working with families struggling to feed their babies in any setting is emotionally challenging — have you thought through how you will nurture yourself to avoid burn-out and compassion fatigue over time?
Polk covers all these scenarios and more. Share in her experience working as a lactation care professional in multiple settings, and come away with solid advice for keeping yourself safe, well, and thriving for the long haul in your job as a lactation care provider.
