MOTIVATION IS THE ULTIMATE KEY

Insisting on the necessity to create a platform to provide social support to these healthcare workers, Ajanta Sen, counselling psychologist and founder, Embrace Change, says we need a “buddy system.” She explains, “We need to support them with self-care tools and encourage them to practise healthy coping strategies. Their psychological failings can reduce their competency at work.” Sachita Sethi Sodha, counselling psychologist, adds in agreement, “We need to make them believe they’re doing a good job. They should also be made to feel hopeful.”
