More than Just a Physical Illness: How the COVID-19 Pandemic has Psychosocially Impacted Women from the Feminist Perspective

Historically, women have faced a myriad of mental health concerns at higher rates than men; these concerns include higher rates of anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Women also tend to face higher rates of domestic violence and other forms of violence. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated these issues, serving as a tipping point that has worsened psychosocial health outcomes for women.
Globally, due to the pandemic, women have faced even higher rates of anxiety, depression, PTSD/traumatic stress, and domestic violence compared to their male counterparts. With women seeking mental health services at higher rates than men, it is critical for social workers to have the proper knowledge and training to work with the population.
This presentation aims to provide a systematic review of the literature demonstrating these issues, along with information on how social workers in the therapeutic setting can utilize feminist theory in practice when working with women facing these concerns. This presentation concludes that when considering the unique needs of women within this context, it is imperative to understand these distinct issues, how to provide best care, and how these outcomes will continue to further impact the social work field.

Upon completion of this conference, participants will be able to:

  1. Recognize the unique psychosocial needs of women.
  2. Understand the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on women’s psychosocial health.
  3. Develop knowledge on how to utilize feminist theory in practice with this population.
