Episode 37:COVID-19 PREP : Helping families of COVID-19 Positive Patients in the ICU

Again, I've been getting emails asking me about my thoughts on the subject. 

I actually asked some of my colleagues about it as well and realised that theres some food for thought here and is extremely challenging. 

 

ALSO AN APOLOGY, IN THE PREVIOUS EPISODE I SHOULD HAVE MADE IT MORE CLEAR THAT MENTAL HEALTH REQUIRES A MULTIDISCIPLINARY SUPPORT TEAM AND IS NOT MY PRIMARY SPECIALTY.

So social isolation, the stress of being in a hospital and the things that patietns see as a result of overcrowding are all part and parcel of the journey we are all going through world wide.

Episode 35: COVID PREP Frontliner and First Responder Mental Health.

I've received an email about how people can help without being frontliners or if they cant be. 

 

One of the key things you can do to support front liners is not material; it's to be part of their mental support system.
