As a nurse, you spend your days caring for others in an environment that is often physically demanding, emotionally complex, and mentally exhausting. Yet between caring for patients, supporting your team, meeting family responsibilities, and managing everything else life demands, your own well-being can easily fall to the bottom of the list.
And even when you make time for self-care, finding a provider who understands healthcare, accepts your insurance, and isn’t booked months in advance can feel like an insurmountable obstacle.
That’s why the Oregon Wellness Program (OWP) offers eligible Oregon nurses three (3) complimentary, confidential counseling sessions with experienced mental health professionals who understand the unique realities of healthcare.
About The Oregon Wellness Program
The Oregon Wellness Program is a statewide initiative designed specifically for healthcare professionals. Its network of experienced, licensed mental health providers understands the pressures that come with caring for others.
Nurses often use their sessions with OWP to help manage a variety of challenges, including:
- – Burnout and compassion fatigue
- – Workplace stress and navigating difficult patient experiences
- – Emotions such as grief and anxiety
- – Relationship challenges, at work and at home
- – Navigating a particularly demanding season of life
If you’ve been thinking about talking to someone but have been putting it off, let this be your reminder. Caring for yourself isn’t a luxury; it’s critical to your ability to care for others.
OWP’s Commitment to Confidentiality
OWP provides complete privacy and confidentiality. No diagnoses are reported to third parties and insurance is never billed. No information is disclosed to others without your explicit written consent.
