Recenzje

We are living in unprecedented times. Living through a pandemic, health providers have had to radically alter how they practice, for example, learning how to do telehealth overnight. This power-packed book should be read by all health care providers, whether they are administrators, educators, researchers or front-line staff. Secondary stress confronts us all, and this book assists health providers to manage such stress.
