New CE and CME courses empower clinicians to
navigate systemic barriers to their own well-being
NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As the nation's
mental health challenges continue to grow, our healthcare workforce
is struggling to keep pace — and struggling with their own mental
well-being. In the wake of COVID, feelings of exhaustion, burnout,
and empathy fatigue are now even more commonplace in the healthcare
community, with more than half of mental health professionals
reporting moderate or high burnout and more than
three-quarters of health workers reporting both exhaustion and
burnout. How are we caring for the mental health of these
professionals who are caring for the health of others? To support
providers as they navigate heavy workloads and the challenges of
healthcare workplace culture, Psych Hub announces the launch
of a curated eight-course Clinician Well-Being series, available
through the Psych Hub online learning platform.
The term "burnout" has long been associated with the concept of
moral distress in healthcare, which has been on the rise even more
dramatically since the height of the pandemic. As many healthcare
organizations struggle with workforce shortages and high turnover
rates, healthcare employee well-being is in the spotlight. Psych
Hub's new Clinician Well-Being learning experience is designed to
support providers most at risk of experiencing feelings of burnout
and moral distress including: social workers, counselors, marriage
and family therapists, psychologists, mental healthcare students,
case managers, coaches, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and pharmacy
technicians. Psych Hub collaborated with well-known subject matter
experts to develop course content to support this broad range of
care provider roles. Thekla Brumder
Ross, PsyD, is a clinical psychologist, a national leader in
addiction medicine, a workforce well-being consultant, and a
strategic advisor to the National Institute of Health. Thekla
advises numerous behavioral health tech companies in product
development, guides health systems in implementing evidence-based
practices, teaches self-compassion to medical students, and coaches
human resources professionals. Pari Shah
Thibodeau, PhD, LCSW, is an integrated healthcare scholar
and licensed clinical social worker who studies the well-being of
the healthcare workforce, specifically focusing on the experiences
of moral injury and mental health through a systems lens.
Jeffrey Ring, PhD, is a health
psychologist, leadership coach, educator, advocate for health
justice and equity, and the first author of the book Curriculum
for Culturally Responsive Healthcare: The Step-by-Step Guide for
Cultural Competency Training.
Left unchecked, burnout can negatively impact not only a
clinician's well-being and interpersonal relationships, but also
compromise patient care, a topic Psych Hub began exploring with the
recent podcast "The Burnout Antidote," which highlights
conversations with healthcare providers sharing their stories and
offers a set of tools to foster well-being. The Clinician
Well-Being CE- and CME-eligible coursework and supporting resources
continue the conversation with learning paths for mental health
practitioners and healthcare clinicians to explore the concepts of
burnout, moral distress, and well-being from multiple perspectives,
with course topics including:
- Moral Distress and Well-Being
- Overcoming Workplace Challenges
- Leadership Strategies Amidst Moral Distress
- Building Supportive Systems
- Creating Psychologically Safe Workplaces
- Navigating Primary and Secondary Traumatic Stress
- Self-Compassion
"We need to reframe the idea of burnout in healthcare and how we
think about it, talk about it, and solve for it," said Marjorie Morrison, LMFT, LPCC, co-founder of
Psych Hub. "While the stigma around mental health in general is
decreasing, it's important to remember that all individuals,
including clinicians and care providers, are facing their own
struggles. These new courses from Psych Hub aim to move the
healthcare workplace burnout conversation past the idea of personal
resilience and the focus on the individual as the sole source of
the solution by instead exploring how the broader system can
support the clinician. We aim to empower providers to understand
what can help them nurture self-compassion and sustain well-being
without adding more items to their to-do list."
These new CE- and CME-eligible courses on Clinician Well-Being
are now available through Psych Hub. Visit psychhub.com for more
