Group patient education is a session that involves a group of patients and/or caregivers receiving health care education virtually. Group patient education sessions may be:

Self-referred or voluntary group patient education: Health care providers are not required to register patients. Patients can choose to attend these sessions as it relates to their health and wellness.

Referred group patient education: Health care providers are required to register patients. Patients are required to attend as part of their care plan.

Stress is present in our everyday environment, including the workplace. There is positive stress and negative stress.
