As the pandemic impacts women in healthcare, we held a #GiveHerAReasonToStay panel at @unmc @NebraskaMed.

Chancellor @jeffreypgold, "I would love to become the most inclusive organization for women. We need to redouble our efforts to listen, respond and then act."

(1/8) ImageImage
Dr. @AllisonGrennan, "The pandemic has worsened the cognitive load for women. Now, we have to worry about whether we can go to work and keep our children safe."

Her tip: Leaders, look at meeting times vs. caregiving duties: "If the meeting is 6 am, I can't be there."

(2/8) Image
Dr. @RUBraveEnough, "Since the pandemic, I have had 200 personal conversations with women physicians who've said, 'I don't know if I can do this anymore.'"

Her tip: "Every woman who talks to you about work/life conflicts represents 10 more. See it as an opportunity."

(3/8) Image
Dr. @ShirleyDelair, "The pandemic has especially disrupted careers for women with intersectional identities. For example, I help support my extended family."

Her tip for leaders, "Employers need to expand childcare access that flexes to meet needs for working parents."

(4/8) Image
Sr. Vice Chancellor @DeleDaviesMD: Advice for deans and directors:

"Ask yourself 5 questions to ensure you are being inclusive in your college, your department, etc. When I was a department chair in pediatrics, I had the most diverse unit in the college."

(5/8) ImageImage
Dr. Keith Allen @unmc_mmi: "I recently hosted listening sessions for my team and it has been both powerful and humbling. Now that I'm an empty nester, I realized that I forgot how hard it is to have children at home. It was a wake up call to really listen to be an ally."

(6/8) Image
Heidi Husk, HR leader, on investing in caregiving: "We have a vision for a @NebraskaMed @unmc combined childcare center for Project NeXT which will offer sick care, extended hours, drop in care for when childcare falls through. It will truly be state of the art."

(7/8) Image
We closed with Director of Equity, @DrBrandyClarke, talking to Chancellor @jeffreypgold, about the future of work.

Dr. Gold: "The underlying principle for the workplace of the future is flexibility."

#GiveHerAReasonToStay is a call to value women at @unmc @NebraskaMed!

Shout out to @JulieSilverMD @AMWADoctors @ELAMProgram for their national leadership in gender equity.

Everything is possible with a dedicated team.

“As I have been walking the halls of our campus, I have met Indian students and colleagues who are in tears.

They ask, ‘How can I help my family?’

We must support our colleagues emotionally and logistically.”

“In order to address the suffering within the ‘soul of America,’ we have to address mental health as part of health care, not separate from it."

- @PJK4brainhealth on the need to address #mentalhealth in COVID response.

A thread on the 6 priorities (1 of 7). h/t @JudgeWren
Priority 1: Change the national conversation about mental health and suicide.

As a psychiatrist, I know that a common response to mental health crises is silence.

When we speak up, we affirm people we know, love and respect who are living with invisible pain.

(2/7)
Priority 2: Increase access to evidence-based treatments for substance use and mental health disorders in specialty and primary care.

Integrated care means having access to therapists and prescribers for treatment as part of the primary care team.

Access saves lives.

Excited to publicly open the Adult Psychiatric Emergency Services at @NebraskaMed @unmc with mental health champions!

As our peer support specialist, Havalynn Russell stated, "it takes courage to admit you're not ok."

Take our virtual tour below:
"A calm space makes such a difference.

This can be one of the worst days of a person's life.

We designed this space to help people feel supported in their crisis."

- Jen Sparrock, PES Manager and social worker @NebraskaMed @unmc
"Mental health is essential to the mission of @NebraskaMed.

People should view mental health like treating a sprained ankle or any physical injury."

- Dr. Linder, CEO, Nebraska Medicine, on pushing back against stigma about #Mentalhealth in 2020.

America, we need to hope together.

This period has been one of the most consequential in the history of the United States, that threatens to either tear apart the very fabric of the nation we know today or unite us more than ever.

Watching George Floyd pinned down for almost 9 min under the weight of Derek Chauvin & other officers, as he begged for his life was one of the toughest things I have ever had to watch in my life, not just as a person of color, but as a human being.

#ShareTheMicNowMed (2 of 13) Image
It would have been equally hard to
watch had Mr. Floyd been a white
man or woman, or if the perpetrator
had been white or a person of color
or if it occurred in China or Nigeria.

It was especially hard after 3 months
of COVID-19 ravaging America.
