Report of Webinar “Mental Well-Being of First Responders of Covid-19” 13th August 2020 - 12.00 Noon to 2.00 PM

National Institute of Disaster Management (NIDM), Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of In Collaboration with International Justice Mission

Mental Well-Being of First Responders of Covid-19 The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was declared to be a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11th, 2020. The virus spread at an alarming rate, and the severity of infection crossed international borders within no time. A national lockdown and strict regulations were put in place, as a precaution to the further spread of the virus, in India.

As a result, first responders across multiple fields have had to face ongoing stress of keeping communities safe and provide life-giving care in overwhelming circumstances. Fear and anxiety about the new disease, and what could happen in the ever-changing reality of the pandemic, along with extended work hours and work pressures caused strong reactions, and a rise in mental health issues. Coping with stress in a healthy way will allow first responders to take better care of themselves, and in turn care better for the people in their line of work, and work towards building stronger communities together.

This conversation will cover simple plans that will help first responders prioritize their mental health, holistic wellness and self-care, and ways forward to creating a healthier society post COVID-19.

The best source of support come from the family and community. As first responders, we need it and we must ensure to build this model in the society, said Dr.Aravind.
