Mental health care in response to Covid-19

I remember myself leading a leadership programme before the lockdown in February 2019 and already inviting the influencers to get inspired by the Taiwanese government and their experience with SARS2 in 2003. No need to reinvent the wheel guys. It was the start of noticing at the horizon a big disruptive event on a global scale.

"The listening call" platform" was born to hold the space of the first liners in the medical care during the beginning of this transition. Soon we recognise we still could support them but also other first liners! They needed to be included!
Whether they are an educator, a community organiser, a social worker, food bank operator, and more we commit to supporting.

In February 2022 when the war started in Ukraine and we supported burnout social workers at Fedasil (refugee centre),
we notice the system first needs an internal shift and the PST team requires time to digest all the work we did up till now. Based on hearing the voices I decided to pause and make sure the whole team does self care.
Remember: self care is community care.

Mother Earth now covers 8 billion human beings who are impacted by this transition, tomorrow it will be another one and we continue to commit supporting our clients and our communities through our individual and collective projects.
My request to the governments remains the same: create a clear communication plan to hold the space transparently. Stop toxic positivity!

We say yes to a government who is open and vulnerable.
We say yes to a government that articulates the feelings and emotions from the people publicly without taboo.
We say yes to invest to create a communication campaign to educate people to connect with their being, so they can reach out for help. The systemic shame and guilty patterns are preventing people to reach out for help.

Our purpose
We bring together a group of experienced SEI (social and emotional intelligence) leaders because, in synergy, we believe we can achieve more.

Our mission
We support front-line leaders on their journey. We do not discriminate against age. The criteria to evaluate candidates is based upon the capacity and range of a provider’s impact in addition to where along the professional career and life experience trajectory the individual is in their capacity to support the first-line people in their current journey.

The Professional Team
Given this situation, a multicultural and multilingual Professional Support Team (PST) of professional coaches, doctors and psychologists worldwide with 200+ coaching hours are a united force to provide this emotional space and support the backbone of the healthcare system and other front liners to equip these individuals and teams with full preparedness for the next waves.
This space, held for front-liners, is a confidential space, one without judgment, readying people to go back onto the field.
Together we achieve more. We provide coaching in 8 languages: English, Dutch, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Greek, and all organized virtually through video calls and/or Whatsapp platforms.
