You may have heard of Code Red for a fire emergency or Code Blue for a life threatening one. But for the Valley Regional Hospital in Kentville, they have something called Team Lavender. It's a coordinated response team that is tasked with addressing the spiritual, emotional and psychological needs of health care workers. It's something that has gained quite a bit of uptake during the COVID-19 pandemic, even in the face of our mostly secular society. And now with the frequent stories of health care workers burning out because of the high-stress workloads, this group is stepping in. Debra Orton is a Spiritual Health Coordinator with Team Lavender. She describes the work they're doing, where the program came from and the potential to expand it to other health care settings.
