David Lynch Instagram – Today is #NationalDoctorsDay! It’s timely to honor and support the doctors whom we trust with our health, and this begins with breaking the stigma around the burnout and stress that can come with the job. According to a 2023 survey by The Physicians Foundation, nearly 8 out of 10 physicians acknowledge that there is stigma surrounding mental health and seeking mental health care among physicians.
We launched Heal the Healers Now in 2020 to provide instruction in Transcendental Meditation (TM) to medical professionals at hospitals and clinics across the country in the midst of COVID-19. But even before the pandemic, a Harvard report called physician burnout “a public health crisis that urgently demands action” with several surveys putting the rate of provider burnout as high as 70%.
Research shows that physicians and other healthcare workers who learn to meditate through #HealtheHealersNow experience up to a 70% reduction in emotional exhaustion and 60% reduction in anxiety after practicing #TM.
Should you feel inspired, we encourage you to express your gratitude for the doctors in your life today! To learn more, visit HealtheHealersNow.org. Thank you for your support! | Posted on 30/Mar/2024 19:16:17
