For healthcare providers around the globe, the COVID-19 pandemic hasn’t just been a medical crisis but a mental health crisis, for themselves as well as for the communities they serve.

Recognizing this, the Catholic Medical Mission Board (CMMB)—which serves communities in Haiti, Kenya, Peru, South Sudan, and Zambia, with a special emphasis on the health of women and children—created a volunteer-led effort to equip their teams on the ground with the skills to build resilience, deal with grief, and care for self and others under these most extraordinary of circumstances.  

One of those volunteers—it’s a team of five—is M. Therese Lysaught, a theologian and ethicist and professor in the Neiswanger Institute for Bioethics & Healthcare Leadership in the Stritch School of Medicine at Loyola University Chicago. Her work focuses on domestic and international health care and issues of social justice.”
