La pandemia del COVID-19 ha cambiado radicalmente la forma en que operamos en nuestras casas, escuelas y trabajos. Las Ventanillas de Salud (VdS) están prestando servicios remotamente. Las promotoras, educadoras, navegadoras de salud que atienden las VdS en algunos estados son consideradas trabajadores esenciales y están experimentando un estrés mucho más allá de lo normal, tratando de apoyar a sus propias familias, así como a connacionales están viviendo situaciones extremadamente difíciles durante estos tiempos inciertos.
Estar bajo este estrés constante y observando o estando expuesto a situaciones traumáticas produce una angustia similar a lo que experimentan los sobrevivientes de desastres como terremotos o huracanes. En ocasiones esta angustia proviene de las historias que las personas les cuentan o de observar directamente situaciones o interacciones agresivas o perturbadoras, o incluso de las propias historias. Sin embargo, hoy más que nunca el personal de las VdS necesitan herramientas para continuar apoyando a la comunidad. Y dichas herramientas inician con el entendimiento de lo que sucede a nivel personal para así poder hacer frente al estrés actual.
Este seminario virtual busca proporcionar un entendimiento general del estrés empático, daño o lesiones morales, así como estrategias para enfrentarles. En base al modelo de Kaethe Weingarten, PhD, se analizará la situación actual y el impacto que tiene en la salud emocional de los las personas. Para luego describir y analizar las fuentes de resiliencia y la llamada "esperanza razonable" como una herramienta para las VdS.
