In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Reid, a psychiatrist and coach, teaches you how to mobilize hope as an action rather than a feeling. Learn how exploring your past allows you to identify and nurture your optimal coping skills.

Created by Dr. James Griffith at GW School of Medicine, the Hope Modules were designed to help psychiatry residents working with patients demoralized by chronic illness. Through an exploration of their past, including ways they navigated difficult stressors, the residents were able to help their patients create actionable momentum toward hope. 

Hope Modules: Brief Psychotherapeutic Interventions to Counter Demoralization from Daily Stressors of Chronic Illness, by Dr. James Griffith
