The book
The Field Guide to Frontline Care
Practical tools for the moments that don’t make it into training manuals or case conferences. Short, shift-tested chapters on communication, boundaries, conflict and grief.
You can care deeply without losing yourself.
MARCUS GREATHEART MD MSWPhysician, Social Worker, Author & Speaker
