The Stress First Aid (SFA) model is a self-care and peer support model developed for those in high-risk occupations (healthcare) to assess and respond to stress reactions. The goal is to learn and understand the common language about stress reactions, as well as reduce the stigma associated with mental wellbeing. You can find in-person and virtual Stress First Aid courses on OurDay. Contact: Nicole Bernier | berniern@musc.edu or 843-792-4726.

MUSC Health’s Crisis Action Response Empowerment and Support (CARES) team supports our care team members and all staff members if they experience adverse and traumatic situations at work.
