<div>🩺 Episode Overview:<br> In the final episode of the Paediatric Mini-Series, we focus on a rapidly growing challenge for healthcare providers — <strong>adolescent mental health</strong>.

S6 Ep5: Paediatric Mini-Series: Grief and Debrief for Difficult Paediatric Jobs
<div>🩺 Episode Overview:<br> <br> In this episode of the Paediatric Mini-Series, we step away from clinical procedures to explore something just as vital: <strong>grief and debrief after difficult paediatric cases</strong>. Whether it's a tragic outcome, a confronting resuscitation, or an emotionally charged encounter, these experiences leave a mark.<br> <br> We talk candidly about the importance of reaching out, how to support each other, and how to create a culture where <strong>psychological safety and structured debriefing</strong> are the norm—not the exception.<br> <br> Even the most experienced clinicians are not immune.<br> <br> Grief and emotional residue don’t disappear with time—they need space, validation, and care.<br> <br> 🧰 Tools & Resources:</div> <ul> <li>DTFB: <a href="https://dontforgetthebubbles.com/every-resus-needs-a-debrief/">'Every Resus Needs a Debrief'</a> </li> <li>DFTB: <a href="https://dontforgetthebubbles.com/breaking-bad-news/">'Breaking Bad News'</a> </li> <li><a href="https://www.theasc.org.uk/">The Ambulance Staff Charity</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.beyondblue.org.au/">Beyond Blue</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.mind.org.uk/news-campaigns/campaigns/blue-light-programme/">Mind</a></li> <li>Employee Assistance Programs (individual organisations)</li> </ul> <div> <br> ✅ <strong>Don’t forget to:</strong> </div> <ul> <li>Subscribe & share</li> <li>Rate and review</li> <li>Follow us on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thestudentparamedicpodcast/">@thestudentparamedicpodcast</a><br> #StudentParamedic #Paediatrics #Debrief #DifficultJobs #EMS #AndrewTagg #DontForgetTheBubbles #ParamedicPodcast #PrehospitalCare #Paramedic</li> </ul> <div>DISCLAIMER: All of the opinions of each individual on 'The Student Paramedic Podcast' are their own. <br> <br> </div>
