Virtual Town Hall to Focus on Mental Health
Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic
FOX News Channel (FNC) will present America Copes
Together on Wednesday, April 29th at 1PM/ET. Moderated by
Outnumbered Overtime anchor Harris Faulkner, the virtual town hall
will feature remote panels comprised of psychiatrists and everyday
Americans to highlight the psychological effects that the COVID-19
crisis has had on families, the healthcare community, front line
workers and all those isolated and impacted during the
pandemic.
Throughout the hour, Faulkner will be joined by psychiatrists
and doctors, including Dr. Jessica Griffin, Dr. James Rachel, as
well as FNC contributor Dr. Nicole Saphier to answer
viewer-submitted questions from those dealing with the mental
health impact of the coronavirus pandemic. FNC contributor and
retired United States Marine Johnny Joey Jones will also join the
broadcast to discuss PTSD and the psychological effects medical
workers may be experiencing. Topics to be discussed throughout
include coping with tragedy, the psychological toll of isolation
and stay at home orders, as well as living in close quarters with
loved ones.
America Copes Together is Faulkner’s fourth in-depth town hall
during the coronavirus pandemic. In addition to being one of the
first cable news anchors to devote a full hour each day to viewer
questions and doctor Q&As, Faulkner recently presented America
Learns Together, which focused on the challenges of distance
learning for parents and educators.
Additionally, Faulkner co-moderated a virtual town hall with
President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and members of
White House coronavirus taskforce alongside FNC’s Bill Hemmer on
March 24th. She also anchored an hour-long Q&A special
surrounding the COVID-19 crisis alongside Dr. Mehmet Oz on March
9th.
