Free group provides safe space for survivors to discuss physical, emotional recovery

DANVILLE, Pa. – Geisinger will offer a free, virtual support group for survivors of COVID-19 beginning May 12. 

Geisinger psychologist Erin Hall, Psy.D., will facilitate the group each Wednesday from 4 to 5 p.m. Sessions will cover common experiences in recovery from COVID-19 including issues with sleep, memory or concentration; physical challenges; depression and anxiety; concerns about health, future medical care or COVID re-infection; trauma related to illness or hospitalization; and changes to family roles, relationships and friendships. The group will focus on coping strategies and building resilience.

“Recovering from COVID-19 can be a lengthy process, and each person’s experience is different,” said Dr. Hall. “Having a safe space to talk about your experience and challenges, among others with similar struggles, is important in helping people heal and recover. Recovery from COVID-19 is truly both physical and psychological.”

To register, visit geisinger.org/events and search “COVID survivor support group.” Participants can register for each week’s session separately.
