Center for Stress, Resilience and Personal Growth

Cultivate Resilience. Embrace Growth.

At the Center for Stress, Resilience and Personal Growth at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, we are dedicated to supporting psychological health through scientifically grounded services, including educational courses and individual behavioral health care. We are recognized experts in caring for the mental health of healthcare workers. Our program started in response to the Covid-19 pandemic so that the Mount Sinai workforce would have the support and training to take care of themselves during a time where great demands were being placed on them. While the pandemic has faded to the background, CSRPG remains a resource for Mount Sinai employees and their adult dependents. Whether you are a health care professional, facing work-related stress, or dealing with life's many challenges, our team is here to help you not just manage the ups and downs, but grow from them. Our team is equipped to handle various concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, and other unique stressors.

The Center for Stress, Resilience and Personal Growth is more than just a behavioral health program. We are at the forefront of resilience research, having developed our own measure of psychological resilience and publishing on the many factors that contribute to psychological resilience. Through federal funding and corporate partnerships, we contribute to best practices in supporting  health care workers, first responders, and individuals from all walks of life.
