Jordan Friesen, national director of workplace mental health with the Canadian Mental Health Association, told CTV News Channel on Sunday that front-line workers are among the groups the CMHA is most concerned about right now.
One factor making things worse is the lack of time for front-line workers to deal with what is happening in their lives. It’s not only front-line workers who are facing these issues at a higher level than the rest of the population, however. “Of course, they are some of the most vulnerable of our population, and I know that in particular, that level of isolation can be challenging,” Friesen said.
“I think that in terms of safeguarding your mental health, if you’re in that situation … of course trying to find virtual ways to connect with family is really important.”
Mental damage always lingers well after events. Damage incubates. We pretend nothing is there.
