The Impact of Covid-19 on Community Support Workers w/ Associate Professor Katherine Ravenswood: August 31, 2022

New research illustrates the severe mental and physical toll that the Covid-19 pandemic had on community support workers in Aotearoa. 

The study was conducted by AUT researchers, who collaborated with union representatives from E tū and PSA to reveal the huge psychosocial and physical impacts on social support workers. 

Later today, the researchers will meet with Minister of Health, Andrew Little, to seek commitments to take crucial action on its recommendations.

To hear more about this, Emilia spoke to Associate Professor Katherine Ravenswood from AUT.
