Why Cope When You Can Heal?

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Thank you for writing this extremely important book. Burnout and mental health challenges were already a significant issue for healthcare clinicians before the COVID-19 pandemic. Why Cope When You Can Heal? heightens the reader’s awareness of the additional trauma experienced now by the healthcare workforce and prepares them for the aftermath of COVID-19 and a potential parallel pandemic. The authors also acknowledge the tensions between health and the economy and individual freedom and the common good that are essential to manage in order to achieve a healthy public, a healthy workforce, and a strong economy. This is an important book for healthcare workers and leaders at all levels to read, so the trauma experienced by the healthcare workforce will not be ignored or dismissed, and those impacted will have the best opportunity to heal.”
