Balint groups

Balint groups are gatherings where healthcare professionals, such as doctors and nurses, come together to discuss difficult patient cases. The focus is on exploring emotional and relational aspects of these cases—how patients' feelings and relationships impact care. Participants share experiences in a confidential, supportive environment to better understand their own reactions and improve their ability to connect with patients. This reflective process helps professionals develop greater empathy, emotional resilience, and communication skills, ultimately enhancing the quality of patient care.
