The movement to acknowledge burnout in healthcare and address the root causes of stress that lead to reduced professional fulfillment, focuses on systems-level factors within healthcare organizations. These resources showcase steps that different stakeholders can take together to address health worker burnout.

The Peabody Institute is pleased to bring back ‘Guest Week’ this December for its Music for a While program, serving hospital staff, patients and caregivers through musical performances in the public spaces of Johns Hopkins Hospital. Staff and students with a musical background from all JHM entities are invited to perform alongside Peabody students at Johns Hopkins Hospital in East Baltimore during the week of Dec. 12-16. This is a special opportunity to showcase your musical skills and support the hospital community. To participate, participants needed to submit an interest form by November 11.

Wellness carts are circulating at six Johns Hopkins hospitals with self-care items, healthy snacks, and art supplies for staff, courtesy of the International Arts + Mind Lab and the Office of Well-Being.

Workers in healthcare across care settings, and in all roles are experiencing alarming rates of burnout.  At Johns Hopkins Medicine, we are on a journey to support the well-being of our workers.   To guide this effort, we adapted a model from the National Plan for Health Workforce Well-Being.

Whatever your need, JHEAP is free, confidential, and available 24/7. Hopkins employees and their household members have access to up to 6 short term counseling sessions, legal/financial consultation, and referral location services for help with stress at work or at home, relationship issues, a difficult life transition, or other challenges.

The songs are compiled by themes with a tune for every mood, across all genres. View the playlist and get insight into others’ experiences and the songs that sustained them during the pandemic.
