The proposed edited work begins with a foreword by Dr. Charles Figley, the Paul Kurzweg Distinguished Chair in Disaster Mental Health and Director of the Tulane University Traumatology Institute. Dr. Figley is perhaps best known as the originator of the term compassion fatigue.
Foreword by Professor Charles Figley

Each contributor will follow a suggested guideline of questions: How does your topic reflect a unique aspect related to COVID-19 (i.e., why does your topic need to be addressed at this time)? How has this topic been addressed in the professional literature (i.e., a brief literature review)? If you are using a case illustration, how does it demonstrate unique work related to the coronavirus pandemic? What have you identified personally or through your work that is important to the social work profession or to yourself (i.e., what are some of the themes you have identified)? And finally, what lessons can/should we take forward from this experience?
