All frontline healthcare providers are invited to participate in this program for free through a nomination process or sponsorship - especially those directly engaged in diagnosing, treating, or providing nursing care to patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19. Experts predict that 25 percent of healthcare workers are likely to develop anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress - a percentage akin to soldiers returning from combat.
The Healing Our Healthcare Heroes program will consist of more than 30 cohorts and include a comprehensive curriculum that addresses wellbeing by providing the healthcare worker access to information, skills, and tools to help prioritize, care for, and support their mental health and physical, emotional, and spiritual rejuvenation to better cope with the stresses of their work and connecting with their patients in more meaningful ways. Participants will leave with a renewed sense of purpose; tools that enable processing of grief and beginning healing; and a sense of deep gratitude from the communities they serve.
