Addressing the Collective Mental Health Burden Imposed by COVID-19
Webinar Details & Objectives
No one knows how long the COVID-19 pandemic will last or whether or not the U.S. will experience another ‘wave’ later this year. We do know that COVID-19 has created a collective and significant mental health burden on everyone. Whether the pandemic is like a blizzard we must get through or something more long term like an ice age that we must learn to live with, its effect on our mental, emotional, and behavioral health will persist. This webinar presentation will explore how nursing schools begin to address this second ‘silent’ pandemic and provide support to faculty, students and staff. The pandemic has created opportunities for rethinking support needs and services, and illuminated the importance of fostering healthy, psychologically safe work environments.
