Mental health professionals listen to people in fear and distress. They are confronted with grief while working with individuals and families affected by illness and deaths brought by the virus. They are the ones who plan public mental health interventions, or are there to support health staff who battle in the front-lines against the Covid-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, they have to take care of their regular clients.
And what about taking care of their loved ones? And taking care of themselves? Mental health professionals may easily be prone to secondary traumatization.
The group gives opportunity to come together, drink a cup of coffee, share feelings, and get support. It holds the promise of a most playful and meaningful way to prevent burn-out and traumatization.
