Matthew Dickison, an adult psychiatric nurse practitioner at the Village for Families & Children in Hartford, has been on the front lines of providing mental health support to patients impacted by COVID-19.
Dickison, who served as a captain in the Army Reserves, in April and May was mobilized and sent to New York City to work in the Federal Emergency Management Agency Hospital at the Jacob Javits Convention Center.
He was also assigned to Queens Hospital. During his time at the Javits Center, he served as a registered nurse leading a small team to manage and care for up to 10 patients per day.
He trained and oriented other nurses to continue the clinical care he was providing at the FEMA hospital before he left and was able to send more than 10 patients back to their families and homes.
His team served many more patients with no negative outcomes or deaths.
At the Queens hospital, Dickison served as a leader of the behavioral health team. Additionally, he provided grief counseling and support to bereaved psychiatric patients who had lost loved ones during the pandemic.
Now he is back and working in Hartford, where he is providing mental health care to adults striving toward recovery from schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, bipolar disorder and more.
