Case: Supporting an impaired colleague

A colleague and friend of yours has volunteered to you in the tearoom that they have been feeling very low and are struggling with the stress of work lately. They recently had to lead the resuscitation of a paediatric cardiac arrest, that was unsuccessful and have been ruminating about it. They have had a few days off, but the last few shifts you have worked together you have noticed they seem distracted. Your friend states, “I’m not sure I’m meant for this anymore, I’m not sure I’m worthy of being here.”
