Peer Support
We have team members throughout our organization that have been trained and certified to support you with a confidential listening ear and the knowledge of what it is like to do this difficult work because they too serve our community. Sometimes we need someone who understands the stress of this work to be present with us and normalize the experience we are having at work and within our families as healthcare professionals. Allow our team to support you by reaching out for Peer Support.
Spiritual Care
Spirituality is everything that gives life meaning. Your spirituality is uniquely yours and it is normal over the course of one’s life to ask questions, to change in our beliefs and for that to impact our community. It can be scary to say our worldview is changing so we have Chaplains on our team that can sit with you if you are in the middle of questioning. Our role is to help you clarify what makes you feel like you and how you want to embrace this one and only life you have to live.
Code Lavender Cart
Moments of being overwhelmed on the floor is a certainty in healthcare. Our team wants to normalize your need to take a moment and regroup. This need does not make you weak or less than it makes you human. The Code Lavender cart is full of resources to help you feel like you again: Aromatherapy, chocolate, mindfulness tools, inspirational reading, tea, and coloring all offer a variety of ways to care for yourself for a few minutes so that you can return to caring for others.
Therapy Dog
Levels of the stress hormone cortisol drop in people after just 5-20 minutes interacting with dogs, even if it is not your pet! Oxytocin also increases in these brief exchanges. BeBe and Jesse are our two certified Therapy Dogs that love to support our team. We will make the arrangement for either dog to visit when you notify us where support is needed.
