{"title":"Building Caregiver Resiliency in Global Health: Embodying the Catholic Social Tradition in the Face of COVID-19","authors":"M. T. Lysaught, Beth Reece, Marcia A. Grand Ortega, Ana V. Guizado, Cecilia Bustamante-Pixa","doi":"10.1177/00243639221085041","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/00243639221085041","url":null,"abstract":"For international healthcare NGOs, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been significant. Healthcare workers in both LMICs and high-income countries have described the impact of the pandemic as traumatic. This article focuses on one initiative designed to address this impact: CMMB’s Building Resiliency program. This article provides an overview of the structure and content of program, situating it within the landscape of global mental healthcare disparities and caregiver trauma. Designed to address caregiver mental health in Peru, Haiti, Kenya, South Sudan, and Zambia, the program sought to offset global mental healthcare disparities by bringing needed psycho-social-spiritual support to CMMB staff. It was intentionally shaped by the commitments of Catholic social thought—particularly to the well-being, dignity, and integral human development of CMMB staff members, to envisaging new forms of solidarity, and to prioritizing subsidiarity and participation. Theories of post-traumatic growth provided the theoretical framework for three remotely delivered seminar series, which made space for staff members to share their stories with their colleagues, to build community, to foster creativity and hope, and to intentionally integrate faith and spirituality into both personal self-care as well as the common life of the organization. Thus, this was designed equally to build the organizational resiliency that is the fruit of Catholic social thought. For attending to caregivers’ mental health and well-being is crucial not only for the success of medical missions but for embodying and witnessing the Catholic commitment to the human dignity and the integral development of those who do the work of our organizations.","PeriodicalId":44238,"journal":{"name":"Linacre Quarterly","volume":"89 1","pages":"184 - 205"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46623305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since its inception in 1986, the print journal has explored questions of language and textuality, theories of subjectivity, aesthetics, gender studies, critical theory and postcolonial theory. In recent years, the journal has expanded upon its original affiliation with literary criticism and Continental philosophy in order to featuring articles from the human sciences, including the philosophy of science, anthropology, and sociology. This dilation enables even greater possibilities for comparative examinations of critical questions of concern for the humanities and social sciences alike, including: cultural alterity, the politics of visual culture, secularity and religion, nationalisms, political violence, migration and diaspora, questions of psychological development and trauma, the politics of memory, the historical anthropology of science, and modes of non-European or Anglo-American intelligibility. The interrogative and imperative of the journal’s title—who speaks—articulates a common framework for the diverse modes and objects of inquiry taken up in its pages. In particular, the journal is committed to analyzing the conditions and effects of this multivalent question, which demands response but only admits provisional determination.","PeriodicalId":44238,"journal":{"name":"Linacre Quarterly","volume":"88 1","pages":"429 - 429"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41700893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The lens of COVID-19 sheds much light on the state of our collective soul as a nation... and it is not often a pretty picture. While there were some benefits gained from the pandemic, such as more time spent with immediate family and increased parent involvement in their children’s education, some negatives were also unmasked – one of them being the west’s inordinate fear of suffering and of death. Living in a society that has moved from theistic and God-centered to relativistic and self-centered, a book with a title such as this one certainly grabs attention. Written by the archbishop emeritus of Philadelphia, Charles J. Chaput, OFM Cap., it is a topic that, when he began the draft for this in 2019 at age 75, became more urgent for him since “the road of life in the rearview mirror is a lot longer than the road ahead” (7). Having retired in 2020, after serving for 9 years in Philadelphia (he was named archbishop by Pope Benedict XVI in 2011), he took some of his newfound free time to pen many thoughtful reflections and insights on death, and therefore, life. Chaput begins the book talking about the importance of history and a having a purpose. He discusses our natural loves as humans – family, friends, honor, and integrity – and that, as Christians, we know that these flow from the Author of life and love itself. However, he cautions that there are times coming that will test us and cause us to fall into fear and doubt. “Fear of martyrdom is the start of an honest appraisal of our own spiritual mediocrity” (14). We must not think that we can compromise with the culture on the Christian view of the human person because “the world and its hatreds won’t allow it” (23). He also reminds us that love requires sacrifice:","PeriodicalId":44238,"journal":{"name":"Linacre Quarterly","volume":"89 1","pages":"212 - 214"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47146839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
