Fluffy Friends

The Fluffy Friends™ Program is a new trauma-informed program that enhances physician rapport to address the issue of medically induced post-traumatic stress disorder in chronically ill patients who are most at risk. This simple method allows physicians to demonstrate compassionate commitment and earn patients' trust. The program is facilitated by a personalized, patent-pending teddy bear that gives patients full autonomy over disclosure. Additionally, the program helps protect against physician burnout by improving work-life fulfillment through sustained relationships.
