We Are Reading Poetry with Dr. Ronan Kavanagh (dotMD.ie)
With gentle presence of poetry the idea is to bring awareness to wellbeing efforts for HCW and also illustrate a devastating aspect of burnout. If we can show the light to even a single person who struggles and contemplates the idea of leaving the professions it makes a difference and builds hope that together we can move the needle in the right direction.
We Are Reading Poetry with Dr. Izabela Malinowska.
We Are Reading Poetry series is a collage of meetings with healthcare workers (HCW) and those who support them. This series is to bring awareness to tremendous toll of burnout on front line workers and to combat despair, isolation and one sided monologue who a HCW should or should not be. Wellbeing of HCW is an issue that we can and should cultivate as a community.
