Second Victim Syndrome: Supporting Nurses on the Frontlines of Care

Wednesday, January 8th, 2024, 11:00 – 12:00PM ET

About this webinar

Nurses dedicate their lives to providing safe, high-quality care, but the emotional toll of an adverse patient event on healthcare providers can be overwhelming. The common yet often overlooked experience of Second Victim Syndrome (SVS) can result, leaving many feeling isolated, guilty, and uncertain about how to recover after a patient is harmed.

Join us for an insightful webinar designed to shed light on how organizations are addressing Second Victim Syndrome. You’ll hear from the team at Mayo Clinic, who implemented the BONE Break hot debriefing tool as a means of offering peer support for nurses.

You’ll leave with an understanding of:

  • The wide-reaching impact of Second Victim Syndrome. 
  • Strategies Mayo Clinic has used for creating a supportive work environment and fostering resilience.
  • Resources and programs to promote healing and well-being among healthcare teams.
