• Help For The Helpers! Ensuring Mentally & Emotionally Healthy Healthcare Workers Tour

  Dr. Adolph “Doc” Brown fully understands and effectively addresses the mental health needs of healthcare workers. As a former project manager for Sentara Hospitals, the crisis team supervisor for First Hospital Corporation, and a trained Critical Incident Stress Debriefer, Doc Brown has first hand knowledge of the stressors of the professional as well the appropriate protective factors required to best function in these environments.

  The COVID-19 outbreak further intensified the already existing feelings of exhaustion, pressure, tension, sorrow, and anguish among healthcare professionals. Numerous healthcare workers found themselves burdened with heavier workloads due to a shortage of staff and a lack of essential personal protective equipment. Consequently, their anxiety levels skyrocketed, and they faced an increased risk of harm to themselves. Disturbingly, certain healthcare workers exhibited symptoms resembling post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of their experiences during the pandemic. Additionally, some individuals continued to suffer from lingering symptoms after contracting COVID-19 personally.

  This tour will address:

  1.  Healthcare Provider Burnout

  2. Compassion Fatigue

  3.  Self-Care

  4. Limited Resources
