Healthcare and frontline workers face stress everyday as part of their jobs - from working long hours to the pressures of caring and protecting others. During a disaster event, these demands are amplified. And while they are trained to handle these challenges no one is immune to the long-term effects of stress and trauma.
It’s important to manage stress and learn effective ways to cope with the experiences associated with the profession. Protecting your mental health not only benefits you, but also the community you serve.
