Sustaining Resilience During COVID-19 - From Leadership to the Front Line
Wednesday, April 1, 2020
2:00pm PST / 3:00pm MST / 4:00pm CST / 5:00pm EST
60-minute panel discussion plus Q&A
What: COVID-19 has changed the world in which we live and work. Leaders and front-line healthcare professionals alike are facing new and more complex challenges as we adapt to a rapidly changing environment of care, while the level of uncertainty and ambiguity continues to grow. We are forced to make more difficult decisions, work in new ways and care for our own families, all while motivating our workforce to stay the course. So how do we collectively cultivate resiliency in order to remain strong and thrive while in stressful conditions, particularly when connection to others must be made from a distance? In this webinar, we will hear from three professionals to explore the dynamics of COVID-19 and how we can continue to support the development of our best selves as leaders through crisis. We will also learn about a model of peer to peer support developed to support Chinese healthcare professionals, and an upcoming opportunity to virtually build resilience together.

Pu Cheng, M.D., FAPA is the Inpatient Director at Meridian Health Services and a volunteer Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the Indiana University School of Medicine in Muncie Indiana. He received his medical degree from Shanghai Medical University and has been in practice for more than 10 years.

During the crisis of COVID-19 in Wuhan, China, Dr. Cheng led a team to immediately assemble a team of 45 credentialed mental health workers from the USA, Canada and Australia, dedicated to peer-to-peer support for first line Chinese healthcare professionals who were fighting this epidemic crisis. They employed intervention techniques, via a novel method of social media, and received a good response. This innovative approach can have wide acceptance, is ideal for rapid response, and is suitable in situations where communication is done at a distance and due to a highly contagious epidemic. This model also faces some unique challenges previously unknown. It has the potential be further developed into a widely-adopted and easily modifiable model that can be applied immediately to fight what is now global pandemic.
