Beschreibungen/Notizen

• This reflective essay seeks to detail lessons learnt from conducting group work for migrant workers with COVID-19. In response to rapidly emerging psychosocial needs, Medical Social Workers (MSWs) from Tan Tock Seng Hospital conceptualised and facilitated activities targeted at improving the workers' psychosocial well-being. The need for response to rapidly evolving psychosocial needs meant limited time for systematic needs assessment and evaluation of activities. Activities encouraging non-verbal forms of expression were useful in overcoming language barriers and adoption of the participatory paradigm for ongoing assessment and evaluation of the activities helps create a more culturally appropriate intervention for this vulnerable population.
