Answering the Call for Our Members and Our Communities
The past several months have shown us how vital and necessary the 91黑料网 Well-being Champions program is. Clinician mental health distress and burnout will continue to be challenging both during and after the pandemic, and 91黑料网's community of well-being offers needed support and guidance to our members. A consistent Champion presence is crucial as we navigate the uncharted territory ahead, and we are committed to supporting our current Champions in improving well-being in their chapters. Therefore, 91黑料网 has decided to delay training a new cohort of Well-being Champions until the spring of 2022, and all Well-being Champion terms will be extended by one calendar year. We hope that this extension will allow you to continue your important work.
In our recent survey, a majority of you asked for help with goals, direction, and collaborative partnerships. We are excited to debut our Well-being Champion schedule of activities and encourage you to for group coaching with Dr. Kerri Palamara by September 30. Please use this schedule and these coaching sessions as a roadmap to guide you through planning activities, interventions, and partnerships.
New this year, we created the designation of Well-being Allies to recognize chapter members who are actively supporting chapter well-being efforts but are not yet trained Well-being Champions. Individuals who have been identified by their Governor for future Well-being Champion training will be included in this category. Well-being Allies will help increase our work's reach and impact while providing even more opportunities for collaboration.
