Scholarships for COVID-19 Healthcare Workers, Podcasting Plans!
Most of us are relieved to finally say we made it to 2021! Although in this new year, you may still be struggling to make sense of all that’s been happening in just the first few weeks.
Political unrest and rising COVID-19 cases have been profoundly unsettling and a dampening continuation of last year's struggles. If you or yours are seeking clarity, calm, confidence, and healing, our team would be honored to help.
2020 saw one-in-six Americans entering counseling for the first time.¹ The BCI community applauds anyone who may have taken or are contemplating this step! Remember, we have scholarship funds available for those who need counseling, so please text, email, or call us so we can get you the support that you or yours may need!
We’re seeing that more than 45% of healthcare workers are struggling in at least four serious mental health areas: severe depression, PTSD, severe anxiety, and problem drinking.² Also, in a recent study, more than one-in-eight reported frequent self-harming or suicidal thoughts.²
These findings show an urgent need for mental health services to be promptly accessible for healthcare workers. In response, BCI has been able to create a scholarship fund available especially for ICU COVID-19 Healthcare workers. If you are one or know of one, refer them to us so they can receive the support they need while risking their lives to support others.
The healing process takes time and often we have to limp before we can leap. So we are also launching a podcast in the coming weeks to offer another portable and easily accessible arena of support to our community to help you live, love, and lead better than before!
We are honored to partner with you on this healing journey and we thank you for helping us serve over 5,000+ sessions last year. Our belief and hope is that we can serve over 10,000+ this year with your help.
Your Irish brother & bride in the battle and their brilliant team,
Kevin & Debi Daly 🙏 ☘️ ❤️
