Lemmings who work in Emergency wards at hospitals, do you do therapy for work related issues? (lemmy.ca)

My gf works in an emergency ward in a support role (neither doctor nor nurse). I sometimes wonder how things are affecting her. I ask every so often if she's ok, and listen when she rants about things.

But I wonder if therapy would help her. It's a high stress environment even if she's not the one getting her hands dirty.

Suggestions?

Read the comments, and have worked in similar settings. It’s the toxic coworkers that can cause issues (big time, sometimes). Otherwise the usual stuff some people might find alarming or distressing is just Tuesday really, as it seems like it is for her. It is a great question tbh.
