Leading through Covid-19

Drawing on research, best practice guidelines and expert clinical opinions, the COVID Trauma Response Working Group has created rapid guidance for planners putting in place psychological support for staff in the early stages of dealing with the Covid-19 outbreak.

We have developed this graphic as a quick reference version of the detailed guidance available on the traumagroup.org website.

The COVID Trauma Response Working Group

The COVID Trauma Response Working Group is made up of psychological trauma specialists and the co-ordinators of the psychosocial response to trauma and wellbeing leads at NHS trusts. It has been formed to help co-ordinate trauma-informed responses to the COVID outbreak.

Communication is key. Good communication is even better. Talking, asking and listening helps you know how best to help. Don't just talk, listen and know when to come in. Plan.
