LSUHSC Psychiatry Department

In light of the developing COVID-19 pandemic, the LSUHSC Psychiatry department will be offering virtual Psychological First Aid groups to support medical personnel. Groups will be free, brief (1 hour), and focused on reducing initial distress caused by the COVID-19 pandemic to foster short- and long-term adaptive functioning and coping. Groups will be divided to include either staff only, faculty only, or residents only to encourage open communication among group members. Each group will be limited to 15 members with two co-facilitators. We will be offering groups throughout the week and on weekends. 

Please click this link to sign up. (Step-by-step instructions below.) Note: Your name and email address are needed to coordinate the groups, but your information will not be seen by other group members. Thank you for all the work you are doing for our community! We look forward to supporting you! 

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Dr. Rajo, UMC Trauma Psychologist, at erajo@lsuhsu.edu or Erin McBurney, Trauma Recovery LCSW at erin.mcburney@lcmchealth.org.
