Wellbeing & Support
RISE: The Resilience in Stressful Events Team
The RISE (Resilience in Stressful Events) team provides confidential peer-to-peer support to anyone in the Johns Hopkins Medicine community who has experienced a stressful, patient-related incident. An adverse patient event can have a profound impact on care providers, any of whom may become a “second victim” who is traumatized by the stressful situation.
