Emergency medicine asks a lot of us, but it shouldn’t ask us to lose ourselves in the process. 💙
Behind the long shifts, missed breaks, and emotional weight of caring for others are stories we don’t always share. Sometimes, what we carry as personal failure is a reflection of challenges much bigger than ourselves.
Join us for “Don’t Break Your Back for a Broken System”, a Stop the Stigma EM Month webinar exploring how storytelling and self-compassion can help us navigate burnout and moral injury, reconnect with the meaning behind our work, and find the courage to ask for change.
Together, we’ll explore how to:
- Recognize burnout and moral injury in ourselves and our colleagues
- Practice self-compassion and set boundaries without guilt
- Share our stories and break the silence around mental health in medicine
- Move beyond individual resilience to advocate for meaningful systemic change
- Find connection, support, and ways to sustain compassion throughout our careers
Struggling doesn’t mean you’ve failed. And caring for yourself isn’t separate from caring for your patients.
