Impact of COVID-19 has highlighted pre-existing stressors on the mental health workforce. Among those most affected by severe stressors, this may lead to burnout, as well as symptoms of depression, anxiety, or PTSD. Despite the scale of these stressors, it is also true that many individuals will be resilient and will not develop chronic mental health concerns. Although people often think about resilience as a trait, that people either do or do not possess, it is instead a skill that be learned and fostered. Dr. Kaysen is a leading researcher on the effects of stress, and specifically on traumatic stress, on mental health. She has focused her current efforts on ways to help provide more accessible mental health care to those in need, including accessible and scalable strategies for improving mental health concerns among healthcare workers. Dr. Kaysen will discuss specific strategies to help mitigate stress associated with providing trauma-informed care and to help build resilience. She will also provide links to free online tools that can be used to help support ongoing coping and will provide a walkthrough of the healthcare worker mental health tool Pause a Moment developed at Stanford.
