our response to covid-19
The Center for Resiliency at Dell Children's began offering 1-hour support sessions via Zoom to Healthcare Professionals three times a week in mid- March. Each Virtual Resiliency Rounds session includes a short mindfulness exercise, opportunity for community discussion, and a longer practice from our Resiliency Training curriculum.
​
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. 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. Virtual Resiliency Rounds were designed to provide tools healthcare professionals can use on the job to cope with the uncertainty, fear, and anxiety surrounding COVID-19. Rounds are also a safe space for our people to discuss their unique experiences during this time as healthcare professionals.
