Wellness Program

Responding to the COVID-19 pandemic in our community can have a significant impact on UM healthcare providers. Stress management and fostering resilience is essential to our well-being, and to our ability to provide ongoing care.

The UHealth Wellness Program, in collaboration with the Center for HIV and Research in Mental Health, and the Department of Psychology, is offering a series of educational group activities to our faculty, residents, nurses and staff. The topics presented include: mindfulness, dealing with anxiety, parents/children/families, and grief, followed by a question/answer session. The groups are open to everyone, although we tried to constitute them based on professional roles.

Please note, information regarding future sessions and recording from previous sessions is forthcoming. For any questions contact umpsychwellness@med.miami.edu or charm@miami.edu.
