About this episode

This episode discusses caregiver wellbeing in Latin American PICUs, focusing on resilience and support strategies.

In this episode of the World PICU Awareness Week 2026 podcast series, we explore caregiver wellbeing through the lens of Latin America – a region characterized by resilience, diversity, and a strong commitment to delivering high-quality care in often resource-constrained environments. Moderated by Dr. Lorena Acevedo, this conversation brings together multidisciplinary perspectives from across the region, including physicians, nursing, and allied health professionals. The discussion highlights innovative and structured approaches to caregiver support, such as the CRECEP model, which integrates “caring for the caregiver” as a core pillar of care. It also explores how institutional programs, peer support, education, and simulation contribute to building safer and more supportive environments for healthcare professionals.
