Surviving sepsis is only the beginning of a complex recovery journey that often extends far beyond hospital discharge. This special Sepsis Survivors Week webinar, led by a sepsis survivor advocate and a clinical practice specialist, explores the multifaceted challenges faced by survivors and caregivers as they navigate lingering physical complications and the often-overlooked mental health impacts of post-sepsis syndrome. Attendees will gain insight into the interplay between physiological changes and psychological outcomes, including how these factors can contribute to misdiagnosis and delayed treatment. Practical strategies for discharge planning and ongoing support will be highlighted, equipping clinicians with tools to foster holistic, trauma-informed care that addresses both body and mind.
