Shownotes Transcript

Today’s episode is all about medical professionals — the hardship, overwhelm, and burnout that pre-existed the pandemic and only got worse when it started. It's about research measuring the effectiveness of a program that offers healthcare workers the support they need to flourish, even in the midst of intensely stressful circumstances. And it’s about the positive impact the programs’ simple tools have made, not only in the lives of those first responders, but in the lives of their patients.

This is a hopeful story, led by Dr. Leandro Chernicoff), co-founder and Academic and Research Director of AtentaMente), a nonprofit based in Mexico City, which teaches social and emotional skills. We also hear from Dr. Mariana Gil-Veloz), pediatric infectious disease professional and AtentaMente Stress Toolbox instructor.  Read the transcript) of this episode Subscribe to Stories of Impact wherever you listen to podcasts Find us on Facebook), Twitter), Instagram) and YouTube) Share your comments, questions and suggestions at [email protected]) Supported by Templeton World Charity Foundation)
