• Create ongoing supportive connections with colleagues who can validate and normalize your traumatic experiences.
• Take a break from media coverage around COVID-19.
• Schedule time for self-care, such as talking with a friend, reading a book, journaling, or meditating.
• Give yourself permission to take just a few moments for your mental health - even if you feel like you cannot take time away.
• Seek out a trained mental health professional to help ensure that you are acknowledging your trauma, processing it and have the support you need to manage the lasting impacts over time.
