(http://www.hhs.gov/pandemicflu/plan/pdf/s11.pdf)
Specifically identifies, separately, psychological issues for response workers/ families of response workers/ impact of pandemic influenza on healthcare workers. Reviews occupational stresses specific to pandemic and makes recommendations for support materials, including: educating employees about emotional responses/ developing family communication plans/ signs of stress/ traumatic grief/ strategies for building and sustaining resilience/ strategies for helping children. Recommendations include: stress control/ resilience teams/ rest and recuperation sites/ confidential telephone support lines/ servcies for families of responders/ need to deal with stigmatization and discrimination (due to illness)/ stress reducing activities.
I am wondering whether communiteis are addressing these issues specific to a pandemic.
