How to Manage the Stress of “Social Distancing” and Protect Healthcare Worker Well-Being

Each of us is asked to practice “Social Distancing” as part of the global public health response to the CoronaVirus-19. However, when combined with the uncertainty of the illness and its pandemic status, social distancing can cause even more stress for our already taxed healthcare system workers as well as the general public. Social support and well-being expert, Dr. Suzie Carmack, shares practical tips for managing these unprecedented stressors in her two #1 Amazon Bestselling books: “Genius Breaks” and “Well-Being Ultimatum.”

In her #1 best-seller “Genius Breaks,” Dr. Carmack shares how to all of us (no matter how busy or stressed we may be) can manage stress, improve mood, enhance creativity, increase mental focus, and sustain our overall sense of vitality in as little as 2 minutes per day. Called ‘Genius Breaks’ - because they bring out the genius within all of us - by moving beyond the stress of the day’s demands and into a state of optimal well-being - these mini-breaks use Dr. Carmack’s signature 4-step method to release stress and reboot the mind and body.

In her #1 best-seller “Well-Being Ultimatum,” Dr. Carmack shares how to prevent, or come back from, burnout and compassion fatigue with new ways to get more strategic about stress management and well-being. This book is especially helpful to those who are in healthcare, education, military service, emergency response and other servant leadership roles, who “love what they do” but are very susceptible to burnout. The book shares how these types of workers need a special type of self-care plan, which Dr. Carmack calls a strategic well-being ultimatum.

Based in settled well-being science, these books teach practical tips for both self-care and self-compassion that have been scientifically shown to improve stress and well-being outcomes. These are the same strategies Dr. Carmack has shared with the Pan American/World Health Organization as a keynote wellness week speaker, and with over 3000 corporate wellness programs, k-12 educators, healthcare clinicians, military service members, government agencies and yoga teachers worldwide.
