SUMMARY:Crisis Planning for Worker & Responder Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:Raising awareness and recognizing planning and operational strategies that can make a difference in the short & long term impact of trauma.\nHealth and safety professionals\, first responders and other workers in many sectors have suffered disproportionate stress\, along with mental and physical harm/injury since the beginning of the pandemic.
