While the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is evident on the public health and healthcare systems, the frontline staff who are involved in response efforts of this prolonged crisis are among those most impacted. Public health practitioners in health departments and other healthcare settings can build resiliency through small investments to address their mental and emotional well-being. This webinar will provide tangible tools for staff to reflect on past challenges and achieve next steps in ways that are both manageable and sustainable.
