Abstract

Little is known yet about the specific needs of people who have become sick themselves or who have lost relatives due to COVID-19. Findings from the patient Association IC Connect (FCIC) and signals received by Victim Support Netherlands reveal that there is a considerable need for aftercare among citizens, partners (families), informal carers and next-of-kin affected by the coronavirus. This project aims to identify the substantive needs and wishes and form of psychosocial and practical help required for the target group stated, and how the appropriate provision of help should be organised and deployed.
