A Masterclass & Global Social Witnessing Event with Dr Rola Hallam

In this call, Rola Hallam described her journey, as a Syrian medical doctor, from giving everything to help her people to burning out, and then her journey back into post-traumatic growth. She shared skills and lessons for self-care and burnout recovery that support all of us engaged in the world, especially health and humanitarian workers, emergency responders and all working on the frontlines of natural or man-made disasters. After the Masterclass, we transitioned into the Global Social Witnessing of those who experience the tension between self-care and burnout on the frontlines.

Dr Rola Hallam is an award-winning doctor, trauma-informed life coach, speaker, social entrepreneur, and humanitarian. She has been honored with several awards, is the first Syrian TED Fellow and founder of CanDo – a humanitarian organization supporting frontline health and aid workers to save children’s lives in their war-devastated communities. She has helped to build 7 hospitals in Syria, including the first ever crowdfunded hospital. Her latest TEDX talk “From Clever to Wise – How healing our traumas heals the world” shares what Rola’s mission is about.
