PTSD and Covid-19: How to manage and minimise trauma responses to the coronavirus pandemic

In this episode of Covid Matters, we speak to Professor Neil Greenberg (@profngreenberg), an academic, occupational & forensic psychiatrist and Professor of Defence Mental Health at King's College London. Neil is an advisor to the Academic Department of Military Mental Health and Managing Director of March on Stress (www.marchonstress.com) which is a psychological health consultancy.

We invited Neil to discuss the traumatic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the public, learn about his role in creating mental health support services for the London Nightingale Hospital and find out what can be done to reduce the mental toll of future global crises on our wellbeing.
