1. SBH Recharge Room
How are you handling stress?
Do you find that you bring your work day home with you? That it’s effecting your appetite? Your sleep? Your relationships?
Do you feel as though your work day never ends?
Dealing with the challenges of working long hours with difficult and very sick patients can take its toll unless you have the appropriate emotional support. At SBH, we support the needs of our residents by offering them tools that range from professional support hot lines to a recharge room on campus where staff can recharge their batteries before, during or after their day.
The room uses hybrid digital technology and evidence-based practices. It has been found that the optimal 15-minute session will reduce stress levels by some 60 percent. We are proud to be the first hospital in New York City to offer this to staff.
Find out about the technology in the recharge room.

What are the benefits of emotional well being?
Emotional wellness inspires self-care, relaxation, stress reduction and the development of inner strength. It is important to be attentive to both positive and negative feelings and be able to understand how to handle these emotions. Emotional wellness also includes the ability to learn and grow from experiences.
