COVID-19 has changed our lives – on all levels.

Plans have been disrupted, workloads impacted and social interaction restricted in order to support public health needs. In your role as a highly valued NSW Health staff member, you are at the heart of this work to keep individuals and the community safe.

Being in an evolving pandemic, the current uncertainty may contribute to increased worry and a concern as to how to sustain energy and empathy; with a potential impact on our individual feeling of wellbeing. It is important that we all take time to care for ourselves, both physically and psychologically through this time.

These webpages contain information and resources describing self-care strategies for you, your team and patients and families to support you in maintaining your sense of health and wellbeing.

Thank you for all you are doing.
