Anouck Heulot is a psychologist for the Pobos consultancy, which works with workers confronted with traumatic events or burned out. For several weeks, she has supported caregivers, employees of funeral directors, and other front-line workers. “For the staff of nursing homes, for example, it’s really very hard.

They lose a lot of residents, have to work with a lack of protection, staff, sick colleagues and the fear that their acts of care will contaminate. They continue to do their job, but they suffer. For the psychologist, it will therefore be imperative to give rest to the workers who express the need.
