SoundMind response to COVID-19 and Solidarity Series
You can help us in this effort by contributing or sponsoring our free services!
We are offering free educational content about wellness and healing as part of our Solidarity Series initiative. We are also currently raising funds to provide free and sliding scale therapy to frontline healthcare providers and essential workers affected by COVID-19. Spaces will be limited to available funding. Please consider donating to our effort.
Our frontline workers are faced with long hours, impossible decisions, fear of infection, and caring for patients who often have to die alone. It is truly a recipe for stress, burnout, and PTSD. The process of having to make these extremely difficult decisions about resource allocation is one that can cause moral injury, which is a key component in many forms of PTSD. We will still need a healthcare workforce when this is all over, and we want to do what we can to help these individuals feel mutually supported by the community they are oath-bound to serve.
Many of us at SoundMind have already volunteered free therapy hours to meet the needs of these workers, but we want to do more to help. In order to offer more hours to our frontline workers, we are creating a fund to facilitate access for resident doctors, NPs, PAs, nurses, techs, environmental service, nutrition, and other essential workers.
With your help, we are working hard to develop and produce quality educational wellness content that is easily accessible to marginalized populations of people in the Greater Philadelphia area, and beyond. We have recently broadcasted our first event:
Wellness and Centering in Times of Crisis :
A SoundMind Series for Solidarity
Your donations will help us to continue this and other programming that will serve our most vulnerable populations, in the wake of COVID-19. We are also committed to enlisting and paying healers who identify as BIPOC.
In addition to offering educational content, and psychotherapy, in the future, we hope to use funds to provide relevant psychedelic therapy for people who have developed PTSD from COVID-19, such as Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy and, in the future, MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy as well. These therapies are now more needed than ever!
Please join us in the fight to make much-needed therapy available to all, and keep our healthcare workforce mentally strong. It will take a lot to make this happen, but we are committed to this goal, and we believe in the healing power of communities coming together in response to adversity.
