No one maps out their tenure as a postdoc anticipating a life-altering tragedy. But mental health crises of all kinds affect academic trainees and staff at similar or higher levels than the general public. While the mental health resources available to trainees are often set by healthcare providers, all levels of university leadership can work to remove material and immaterial obstacles that render such resources out of reach. I describe how access to care via telemedicine helped me following a loss in my family.
没有人会在规划博士后生涯时预料到会发生改变一生的悲剧。但各种心理健康危机影响着学术受训者和教职员工的程度与普通公众相当,甚至更高。虽然受训者可获得的心理健康资源通常由医疗保健提供者设定,但各级大学领导层都可以努力消除使这些资源遥不可及的物质和非物质障碍。我描述了通过远程医疗获得治疗是如何帮助我度过家庭损失的。
