As healthcare leaders, we often talk about healthcare delivery in terms of our collective responsibility to patients; ensuring fair and comprehensive treatment, discretion with their data, and providing key services in times of need. In the months ahead, a new focus is needed, and your responsibility to providers will need to be equal to that of patients. Attentiveness to the mental health needs of providers who are at risk for post-traumatic stress, substance abuse, and major depression must shape the culture and future of your organization. Clinician burnout, already a looming crisis before this pandemic, will be at a critical juncture. Here are the tools you need to give providers the support they deserve. 

- Coping with trauma and preventing physicians PTSD - from hero to human 

- Understanding the Whole-of-Medicine approach that puts the patient-clinician encounter as the central priority 

- Creating a healthcare culture that facilitates, supports, and optimizes a Whole-of-Medicine approach 

- Digital Tools to support health provider mental health
