In this show, host Dr. Suzanne Phillips joins her colleagues, Drs. Molyn Leszcz and Craig Haen, from the American Group Psychotherapy Association to support resilience and foster stress reduction in medical and mental health professionals facing the Corona Pandemic.

New and existing patients turn to Mental Health Professionals to help contain fear, loss, and dysregulation in the face of an invisible and lethal threat. Drawing upon years of hospital experience and research in the aftermath of the SARS Epidemic, Dr. Molyn Leszcz discusses the principles, connections, coping strategies, physical and psychological safety that fuel resilience in Medical Professionals. Dr. Craig Haen considers both the strain and strategies for sustaining resilience in mental health professionals available to the emotional needs of patients.
