Better Mental Health For Healthcare Workers
Code Blue Divers is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charity dedicated to improving the mental health of healthcare professionals. The traumatic stress placed upon our nation's healthcare workers has become extremely high, and very little is being done to address the situation. At Code Blue Divers, we are committed to help nurses, nurses aids, respiratory therapists, physical therapists, phlebotomists, EMTs, paramedics, radiology techs, cardiology techs, etc., learn to deal with the traumatic stress that they experience on a daily basis. Scuba diving has been shown to reduce the effects of post-traumatic stress, and Code Blue Divers utilizes scuba diving as intervention to help healthcare workers cope with post-traumatic stress.
Scuba Diving as a Mental Health Intervention
Multiple peer-viewed studies have shown that scuba diving reduces the effects of post-traumatic stress disorder. Our healthcare workers are increasingly exhibiting signs and symptoms of PTSD, which can be debilitating for those that experience it. Code Blue Divers is helping healthcare workers manage their PTSD by taking them diving and sharing the peaceful underwater world with them. It's amazing how such a simple activity can change the lives of so many suffering from PTSD. Please join us in helping those that spend their lives helping others.
