Restoring Balance and Vitality:

Healing Burnout for Healthcare Workers, First Responders, and Communities

The Source Point Foundation’s mission is to counter burnout in healthcare workers, first responders and in the community by providing transformative educational experiences with an emphasis on healing, wellness, and self-care. Our goal is to help participants develop balance, improve health and energy, and restore meaning and passion for their work, family, and life.

Over half of all healthcare workers have dealt with burnout. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, burnout has become commonplace in the community at large. The Source Point Foundation believes that countering burnout should be about more than building “resiliency”. Instead, we aim to develop a renewed, deepening commitment to our vocation as healers.

The source points in Chinese medicine are the most influential points on each of the 12 meridians where Qi (our life energy) gathers. When activated, they can restore balance and help integrate the function of that organ into the overall health of the body.

Through our understanding of the ancient principles of Five Element theory from early Chinese philosophy, we can view health and wholeness in a unique way.
While in the west, we tend to divide the body into parts, managed by different subspecialists, five element theory provides a view of the universe that is integrative and acknowledges the deep interconnectedness of the external world to the balance and functioning of each person. By applying these more holistic principles to our lives, we can heal ourselves and our patients.
