The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an unprecedented “second wave” of mental health and well-being concerns, especially for our caregivers on the front lines.

This free Caring for Caregivers IHI Virtual Learning Hour special series, presented in partnership with Well Being Trust, features topics related to the prevention, prediction, and mitigation of poor caregiver mental health and well-being, and is guided by experts in the field.

We’ll be joined by Tait Shanafelt, MD, chief wellness officer, associate dean, and Jeanie and Stewart Richie Professor of Medicine at Stanford University. Our focus will be on methods to understand and address sources of anxiety amongst health care professionals during the pandemic, based on Dr. Shanafelt’s research and JAMA viewpoint article on the topic.
