Editors' Note: This story ran in our June newsletter, published June 4.
In May, we released our sixth and final episode of Burnout Busters: The Podcast, featuring an interview with host Hannah West, PhD, LP, who talks about her work with trauma patients and with organizations on addressing trauma among caregivers, prior to and in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. You’ll learn how to recognize trauma and take steps to respond to its symptoms, and how the “do no harm” tenet of the Hippocratic oath applies to health workers in addition to their subjects.
