Service Description
The Emotional PPE Project is a directory that provides contact information of volunteer mental health practitioners to healthcare workers whose mental health has been impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. Healthcare providers have been overwhelmed with the unprecedented experience of providing care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite this, healthcare workers are not getting the help they need. There just isn’t enough time in the day to find a therapist who can see them and who takes their insurance. Although employer resources are often available, there also exist widespread concerns that the stigma for reaching out for help could have career consequences. We started The Emotional PPE project with these barriers in mind. Any worker in a healthcare related field that is impacted by the COVID-19 crisis is welcome to contact any of the volunteer licensed mental health practitioners in our directory. Each of these experienced therapists is dedicated to providing FREE sessions. No insurance needed.
