This is part of Jhatkaa.org’s ‘Care4Care’ programme, which was first launched to help those providing COVID-19 relief amid the second wave.

To be launched for a batch of 50 residents initially, the course will talk about mental health and offer coping mechanisms to these doctors.

“If the course is well-received, it’ll be extended to all healthcare workers,” said an official.

Psychological, emotional, cognitive or behavioural interventions and coping mechanisms will be devised to tackle anxiety, stress, depression, post-traumatic stress and other mental health issues based on the individual or group’s response during the course.
