MUSC Resiliency Program

What is the MUSC Resiliency Program?

In addition to current resources of MUSC’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP), the newly established MUSC Resiliency Program embedded within the Sleep and Anxiety Treatment and Research Program will provide individual brief telehealth interventions to help MUSC healthcare providers in bolstering resilience as they provide care to COVID-19 patients. Further, the MUSC Resiliency Program will offer regular virtual webinar workshops to offer information about stress management strategies, coping, and fostering a self of well-being during this challenging time. More information can be found here (PDF).

Resiliency Resources from MUSC

Healthcare workers across MUSC who are responding to and caring for COVID-19 patients within our community are at increased risk of stress related difficulties. Developing strategies to bolster resilience in order to continue to respond effectively is essential for the health and well-being of our healthcare team. Several resources have been compiled to assist in taking care of yourself and those around you during these challenging times. More information about these resources can be found here (PDF).
