Your Mental Health Matterws

It is a fact that nurses working in any area of nursing experience situations that are emotionally challenging. Nurses working in areas where patients experience violent trauma are even more at risk of vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue.  The COVID pandemic has not changed this, instead it has created another layer of trauma on top of the already existing trauma. As such, mental health supports and peer to peer support has never been more important in our recent past.
