Wellbeing: Opportunities
Brigham Social Club
Are you a social butterfly with lots of fun event ideas? Are you excited to get to know your classmates and colleagues outside of the operating room? If so, The Brigham Social Club is the place for YOU!
The Brigham Social Club is a group of Brigham Anesthesia members committed to building community and supporting wellbeing. The BSC is open to all members of the department. We host monthly events, such as Apple Picking, Lunar New Year Lunch, Trivia Night, and the annual Ski Trip. Commitment is minimal– just four virtual meetings per year!
Email Director of Departmental Engagement and the Chair of the Brigham Social Club Cathleen McKeating to sign up.
Peer Support
The Brigham and Women’s Hospital Peer Support Program was created to support clinicians and other Brigham faculty. Trained peers reach out to impacted colleagues – due to an unexpected clinical outcome, personal loss or other stressors – offering a listening ear and the comfort of speaking with someone who has “been there.” The program is one tool to help mitigate isolation while fostering a culture of support and trust.
Faculty Parental Wellness Program
Are you an expectant or new parent? The Faculty Parental Wellness Program is designed to improve the personal wellbeing and professional productivity of expectant and new parents who are faculty at MGH, BWH, BWFH, and MEE. We welcome all family types and invite participants to join the program early in the expectant phase (pregnancy or adoption) through the first year of your child’s life. We support individuals who meet the following criteria:
- Faculty at MGH, BWH/BWFH, and MEE
- Expectant parents or new parents with a child < 6 months
We welcome faculty of all genders and gender identities. You do not have to be a first-time parent – we welcome all!
If you would like to participate in the program as an expectant or new parent (child <6 months of age), please indicate your interest by completing this form/click the button below. We encourage you to join early in your pregnancy to take full advantage of the program!
