As Mental Health Awareness Month draws to a close, guest author Dawn Siek, BSN, RN, CV-BC, describes the creation of the “ Grow Your Mental Health” booklet, a resource designed specifically with the cardiac rehab patient community in mind. Siek provides a brief history of the booklet — the subject of her award-winning poster presentation at the AACVPR 39th Annual Meeting — explaining how the material was developed, how it has helped participants at her facility, and how other programs can also make use of it. As a bonus, point your browser to the embedded QR code to access a dozen brief mindfulness sessions that also were created as part of this project.
