THE NEED FOR RESILIENCY IN HEALTHCARE
In typical circumstances, healthcare professionals experience BURNOUT at twice the rate of the general population, due in part, to the intense interpersonal demands of their profession (American Psychiatric Association presentation, 2018). When you throw a pandemic into the mix, the likelihood that healthcare professionals will experience work-related stress, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder rises (Chen et al., 2020).
​At The Center for Resiliency our response to this ongoing crisis was clear and swift. In March 2020, we began conducting virtual Resiliency Rounds, now known as “COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE” to help people in healthcare cope with COVID. We’ve continued to gather monthly with healthcare professionals from across the globe to explore the current healthcare environment and offer practical resiliency tools for use in the present moment at the bedside or in the boardroom.
