NAMI Workplace Wellness In The News:
Chicago Tribune, front page article, November 26th, 2021
From tearful interviews to summoning ambulances, contact tracing ‘takes an emotional and psychological toll.’ Cook County is offering mental health support.
Since the early months of the pandemic, contact tracers have worked to try to slow the spread of COVID-19 by identifying close contacts of people with COVID-19 and often advising them to quarantine. But the job is far more complex, and stressful, than just that. Contact tracers also ask those who test positive for COVID-19 about their well-being, so they can connect them with resources to help them successfully quarantine. In many cases, contact tracers get an earful from fearful people looking for comfort.
Those challenges and others led the Cook County Department of Public Health and the National Alliance on Mental Illness Metro Suburban to partner earlier this year to offer mental health training to contact tracers.
