OVERVIEW OF VIHASA’S SEVEN MODULES
Each module offers a deep dive into a core value, blending reflection, creativity, and practical tools to support personal growth and professional renewal. Together, they form a journey from inner awareness to values-based action in healthcare.
Introductory Module: Building Resilience
Theme: A practical and positive response to stress and burnout
This module sets the tone for the programme, helping participants explore how values-based reflection can strengthen emotional resilience. It introduces tools for self-care and stress management, and encourages a shift from reactive coping to proactive renewal.
Module 1: Values – Gain Strength Through Motivation
Theme: Discovering personal values as a source of energy and direction
Participants identify the values that matter most to them and explore how these can guide their decisions, relationships, and professional purpose. This module lays the foundation for authentic, values-driven practice.
Module 2: Peace – Benefit from Being Calm
Theme: Cultivating inner calm to support wellbeing and clarity
Through meditation and reflection, participants reconnect with their natural state of peacefulness. This module helps reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and foster a more grounded approach to care.
Module 3: Positivity – Harness the Power of Thoughts
Theme: Transforming thought patterns to uplift mood and motivation
Participants learn to observe and shift unhelpful thinking habits, replacing them with constructive, empowering perspectives. This module supports emotional resilience and optimism in challenging environments.
Module 4: Compassion – Release Healing Energy
Theme: Deepening empathy and kindness in personal and professional care
This module explores the barriers to compassion—such as guilt, anger, and anxiety—and offers tools to consciously express compassion in relationships, teams, and patient care.
Module 5: Co-operation – Appreciate the Wisdom of Teams
Theme: Building collaborative, values-based team dynamics
Participants reflect on the attitudes and behaviours that foster trust, creativity, and shared purpose. This module strengthens team spirit and encourages non-competitive, joyful collaboration.
Module 6: Valuing Yourself – Sustaining the Carer
