DMH CARES (Communicating and Reaching Employees Supportively) began as webinars during the COVID-19 pandemic. These were real-time virtual wellness webinars that were an opportunity for staff to connect with colleagues, get up-to-date COVID-19 information, hear from senior leadership, and learn about self-care and team-care strategies.
DMH CARES adapted the webinar content into a series of micro-learning lessons. Each bite-size lesson includes 60 second videos containing information about wellness topics, quotes, quiz questions, memes, GIFs, call to actions, and links to resources.
