Why Cope When You Can Heal?
Author: Mark Goulston
Publisher: Harper Horizon
ISBN: 078524476X
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Why Cope When You Can Heal? is an essential resource for doctors, nurses, paramedics, and other healthcare professionals—and the leaders who support them—as they navigate the traumatic stress they have experienced and continue to face. COVID-19 has traumatized the world—and no group has been more impacted than frontline healthcare workers. They’ve worked without adequate personal protective equipment (PPE), witnessed mass death, and been forced to make choices that haunt them. Many have fallen ill, while others have worried endlessly about their own health and that of their loved ones. Additionally, all of this is happening in the context of a divided nation, a struggling industry, and a “just get over it” culture that exacerbates the problems healthcare workers face, while minimizing their suffering. These factors have created the perfect storm for widespread stress, depression, anxiety, and hopelessness—and, increasingly, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Medical doctor and psychiatrist Mark Goulston shares practical, evidence-based techniques and treatments for managing traumatic stress that will fill you with hope and inspiration. In Why Cope When You Can Heal?, you will discover: real-world accounts and experiences from frontline workers; an overview of treatment options; and exercises, tools, and tips that you can use today. This guide will help you—and those you love and support in the COVID-19 battle—begin the process of healing from the inside out and reconnect with the joys and rewards of career and life.

Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded, a great many people tragically lost their lives and hospitals were pushed to breaking point. Our way of life seemed to have changed forever. This devastating time called for everyday superheroes, people who went above and beyond to help others through selfless acts of kindness. StoryTerrace launched the Unsung Heroes campaign to celebrate these heroes. We received hundreds of nominations from the public and have selected 25 inspiring stories for this book. Our heroes come from all walks of life, from two-year-old twins Isla-Rose and Lily-Mae, who raised funds for charity in matching fancy dress, to our leading hero, 93-year-old activist Opal Lee, who hand-delivered food boxes to the needy. Each story proves that even in the most difficult of circumstances, ordinary people can do the most extraordinary things. All profits from the Unsung Heroes book will be donated to two causes: Maggie's, a UK-based cancer charity and Unity Unlimited, a grass-roots educational non-profit in America.

Portraits for NHS Heroes
Author: Tom Croft
Publisher: Bloomsbury Caravel
ISBN: 1448218004
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 31
Book Description
All royalties, a minimum of £2.50 from the sale of each book, will be paid to NHS Charities Together (registered charity no. 1186569) to fund vital projects. When the UK went into lockdown in March 2020 to contain the spread of the Covid-19 virus, artist Tom Croft offered to paint an NHS key worker's portrait for free. Unsure how to help and offer his support, he wanted to capture and record the bravery and heroism of frontline workers who were risking their physical and mental health for our wellbeing. Tom suggested that other artists might want to do the same. He made his offer via video message on Instagram and was immediately contacted by Harriet Durkin, a nurse at the Manchester Royal Infirmary, who had contracted Covid-19 and, now recovered, was about to return to the frontline. Tom's portrait of Harriet, wearing PPE, was the first in what became a global art project. The response to the initiative was staggering and Tom personally paired up 500 artists and NHS workers in the first two weeks. When numbers reached the thousands, Tom set up a traffic light system so that artists and frontline workers could match themselves. Portraits in all mediums followed, from oils to pencil, sculpture to ceramic, mosaic to mural. This book presents a selection of these remarkable images. Some are by leading artists such as Alastair Adams and Mary Jane Ansell, and they are showcased here as both a celebration and a remembrance, in physical form, of the dedication of our NHS key workers. 'I just couldn't imagine what it must be like to have to put on your PPE and head into the frontline of the pandemic, so I wanted to try and thank NHS workers in some small way. We are indebted to them, so to be able to commemorate, celebrate and record their experiences through portraiture felt fitting. This collection will stand as a permanent record of their bravery in a time of national crisis.' Tom Croft
