Dr. Tia Powell on the Covid-19 Healthcare Frontlines
Finding ways to connect to others will help lower your stress and increase well-being.
On Friday, April 17, 2020, for our CUSWF.org Healthcare discussion, Executive Director Leslie Wolf-Creutzfeldt interviewed Dr. Tia Powell, Director for the Montefiore-Einstein Center for Bioethics and Professor of Clinical Epidemiology and Clinical Psychiatry at Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
Dr. Powell discussed her impressions of the medical front-line battle against COVID-19 as well as ways to cope with the stress and anxiety caused by the pandemic.
For your well-being during this difficult pandemic, she recommends finding activities that give you joy, such as.
- Engage with the natural world if you can.
- Enjoy music.
- Keep connected with friends and family with calls and online meetings.
- Meditation helps many.
- Try to help others in your world.
- If you can, give to philanthropy and others less fortunate.
