Episode 6
A secondary mental health pandemic is being left in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Public health experts fear that prolonged periods of uncertainty, stress, and grief will leave many with post traumatic stress disorder. This episode explores Post Traumatic Growth, a process of facilitating personal growth after trauma. An interview with Dr. Tedeschi, one of the founders of the concept, explores how to apply this concept to pandemic-related trauma and discusses the scope of the mental health crisis that is developing.
