Mental health, stress, and moral injury

[rslade]

OK, everybody is under stress, of various types, right now.  It's creating mental health challenges in a variety of ways.  We need to protect our employees, colleagues, and ourselves, as well.

Concentrating on health workers, the Centre of Excellence on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder at The Royal Ottawa and Phoenix Australia – Centre for Posttraumatic Mental Health have co-developed A Guide to Moral Injury.  The Website, outlining the issues, is here.  You can obtain the full guide, free of charge.  An executive summary is available here.

Thank You! for sharing this resource.

I'll be passing it along to our COVID-19 response team at work and sharing with my family.

Stay safe and healthy!

Stress is hitting everyone hard, isn't it? Taking care of our mental health is super crucial. Thanks for sharing this resource—protecting ourselves and our colleagues matters a ton. Health workers especially go through a lot, and it's awesome to see initiatives like this guide from The Royal Ottawa and Phoenix Australia. Moral injury is real, and having resources like this guide can be a game-changer. Also, on the note of mental health, if anyone's interested, I stumbled upon a helpful page discussing signs and symptoms of schizophrenia on https://fherehab.com/schizophrenia/signs-symptoms. It's always good to be aware and informed about these things, right? Take care, everyone!
