AMID this season of gloom, when Surat-based organisational and counselling psychologist Sakshi Seth Grover was speaking to some healthcare workers recently, she realised the role that hope and faith play in the recovery of COVID-19 patients. “When a patient has hope, they have higher chances of fighting back. We also realised that stress impacts the immune system in the long run,” shares Grover. This discovery, coupled with awareness sessions that she’d been conducting since last year, prompted Grover and her team at Cognizavest — a platform offering a range of programmes in the field of psychology — to curate a three-day online workshop called Aarogya - A Break From Covid, that kicks off this Friday.
