May 21st Webinar - Spiritual First Aid
Speaker: Jamie Aten, PhD
Spiritual First Aid is the first disaster spiritual and emotional care intervention to have been built from the ground up, using evidence-informed psychological and spiritual insights gained from years of scientific study. Join Dr. Jamie Aten from Wheaton’s Humanitarian Disaster Institute as he shares about this unique approach to learning and providing spiritual and emotional care for others. The framework he and his colleagues developed takes the “guesswork” out of providing disaster spiritual and emotional care.

Featured New Member
Michelle Phillips, C-TAGME
Michelle is the GME Psychiatry Residency Program Coordinator and a GME Wellness Committee co-chair at Kaweah Delta Health Care District located in Visalia, California, United States. Her journey to physician wellness advocacy began when she observed the stressors to which physicians are exposed, saw the lack of intentional support after difficult cases, and learned about the rate of suicide in physicians. She has a fortunate advantage in that she works in an institution where the residency programs are centrally housed in GME, and there is a diverse group who collaborate together.
She is passionate about providing physicians with compassionate care/grace, and she always looks for ways to say “yes”. Her committee has trained wellness ambassadors to provide support after difficult cases, and they support physicians through personal struggles/crises. She enjoys connecting physicians with resources and building the physician community. Michelle joined the Coalition to expand her knowledge and network. She hopes to evolve the mission of her department, expand the reach of their services, and change the approach of well-being from being reactive to proactive across her institution. She looks forward to the upcoming conference in July, and she hopes she can be of help to others.
