Getting Further with Zero Suicide: Healthcare Worker Wellness places needed emphasis on supports and safeguards for the wellbeing of healthcare workers in suicide care settings.
Session on Healthcare Worker Wellness
In our Getting Further with Zero Suicide: Healthcare Worker Wellness webinar, learn about the impact of burnout, compassion fatigue, and secondary trauma on your workforce and how to include an equity lens when caring for your healthcare workers.
A vital part of the culture change of Zero Suicide is the organizational support of staff who work with individuals who are at risk of suicide. In this session, we’ll discuss how to create those supports and why including equity within your plan to improve healthcare worker wellness is crucial to the health and wellbeing of your staff.
The Getting Further with Zero Suicide webinar series is designed for Zero Suicide systems that are ready to take their initial implementation efforts to the next level. This four-part series provides insights into topics vital to continuous quality improvement for suicide prevention in healthcare.
Zero Suicide Institute experts will lead conversations around care pathways, healthcare worker wellness, fidelity and sustainability, and just culture and lived experience. Together with the Zero Suicide Toolkit, this series further supports organizations in advancing their work to improve safer suicide care.
The webinar series is scheduled throughout the year and open for registration in advance. Recordings of past webinars will be made available at the same links, available below. Recommended Zero Suicide resources are linked below.
