Provider well-being is critical for delivering quality care. Burnout, compassion or work fatigue, and secondary traumatic stress are all too common in the health and human services. These issues may be experienced at the individual level, but they impact organizations and systems in many ways, including lower performance, work absences, and higher turnover.
Well-being improves when providers feel supported and resourced, can find meaning in their work, and have effective coping strategies in place. Whether you are a leader, front-line staff member, supportive colleague, provider who is experiencing burnout, or team member at any level, you can play an important role in transforming provider well-being at your organization.
The resources and events on this page are designed to help create cultures of well-being for providers in the Pacific Southwest region. They were developed for use by mental health organizations, governmental agencies, health care institutions, schools, community-based and cultural organizations, and other care and service agencies.
