CHA provides several opportunities for graduate trainees across the institution. We have a trainee wellness initiative, the Trainee Experience Advisor (TXA) Program, which features workshops and retreats focused on mindfulness, compassion, wellbeing and renewal. Our TXA program can advise on resources such as self-assessment scales that may indicate to the trainee the need for support. We have invested in a program that provides more robust and easily accessible mental health and wellness services for our trainees through the CHA insurance plan.
The following scales can be used to self-assess your own wellness and indicate the importance of seeking support. We recommend completely one or more if you are experiencing significant stress or the symptoms of burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization/cynicism and/or a feeling of reduced personal efficacy).
