Today is #SuperhumanDay 🎉🎉 I want to celebrate by reminding us that healthcare heroes are not superhuman. They are very much human, and they deserve the dignity and respect afforded to all humans. The superhuman label, while well-intentioned, often puts unrealistic expectations on our healthcare professionals. They face immense pressure, long hours, and emotional strain, yet they are expected to perform flawlessly without rest or support. Let’s honor our healthcare heroes not by calling them superhuman, but by recognizing their humanity, advocating for better working conditions, and ensuring they have the resources they need to care for themselves as they care for others. Email your state’s licensure boards urging them to review and revise as needed their licensure applications, so they are free from intrusive mental health questions and stigmatizing language. https://lnkd.in/ezRE4KfK #HealthcareHeroes #MentalHealthMatters #RespectAndDignity #HumanizeHealthcare
