Introduction:
This presentation provides a review of a case report regarding the often unrecognized emotional support experienced among leaders during crisis management.
Method:
Members of a statewide COVID-19 advisory group were surveyed as to their level of participation and perceived emotional wellness benefit resulting from group membership.
Results:
A majority of members across all disciplines and agencies reported a benefit of emotional wellness from group membership.
Conclusion:
It is important in disaster settings, regardless of the labeled group function, to be mindful of the potential benefits to group members from not only a task standpoint but a process standpoint as well. In addition, it is important to recognize the multiple benefits of interdisciplinary interaction and inclusion.
