He also dives into his groundbreaking work in addressing workplace violence in healthcare. His research reveals how trauma-informed care and cultural humility are critical to reducing incidents of violence and creating safer environments for healthcare providers. With healthcare workers facing an alarming rate of workplace violence, Dr. Sargent's efforts are not only timely but essential.Dr. Sargent also opens up about the deeply personal connections he forms with patients, including Black men who find comfort and trust in seeing a provider who understands their unique experiences. His work in treating underserved populations, breaking down the stigma around mental health, and advocating for cultural competence in care is both inspiring and vital.Whether you're a healthcare professional, a student, or someone passionate about diversity in healthcare, this episode offers an inside look at how one nurse is making a difference.
