The Wednesday Wellbeing Support Group

Working in health care is a virtuous endeavor, yet it can impose distress, burnout, compassion fatigue and other issues in our lives. This support group is open to all UTMB employees and creates a space where you can talk about these issues in a candid and authentic way which may help to lighten those burdens and build solidarity amongst your colleagues. Join your facilitators, Rebecca Castro, Tammy Cupit and Jeff Farroni Wednesdays at 11am. We hope to see you there!

What are the mental health ramifications of COVID in kids?  How can kids safely return to doing things they love, like sports, after a COVID infection? Bring your questions and join us as we explore and discuss the current knowledge and research revolving around COVID and Kids.
