The Lerner Health Promotion Program’s Self-Care Resource Cart is a comprehensive wellness initiative designed to equip our healthcare community with impactful tools and integrative health resources. Our goal is to promote wellbeing and create a healing environment for patients, caregivers, and staff.

Why Self-Care Matters in Healthcare

Healthcare settings often create stress for all involved. By providing easily accessible relaxation tools, we aim to support mental health, enhance job satisfaction, improve resilience, manage stress, increase compassion, reduce anxiety, and improve overall wellbeing.

For patients, these techniques can help alleviate pain, reduce anxiety, speed recovery, and enhance treatment outcomes. For caregivers and family members, our resources offer support in coping and providing emotional support, recognizing their vital role in the healing process.

Origin of the Self-Care Resource Cart

Born out of urgent needs highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Self-Care Resource Cart is our response to the increased strain on healthcare workers and the escalating issue of burnout. It stands as a physical representation of our commitment to fostering comprehensive wellbeing among our staff.

In the post-pandemic era, the need to professionalize self-care and embed whole-health approaches into our healthcare culture has become increasingly apparent. Our tools and techniques are designed to provide real-time relief and complement existing healthcare routines.

Accessing Our Resources
