Mental Health and Support Resources in the Wake of COVID-19

Institutionalizing a Culture of Moral Resiliency Webinar Series The Pennsylvania Action Coalition (PA-AC), in partnership with the Pennsylvania Organization of Nurse Leaders (PONL) and the National Nurse-Led Care Consortium (NNCC), produced a webinar series that focuses on institutionalizing a culture of resiliency for nurses during a high-stress time. In producing this webinar series, we aim to provide a platform to share tangible resources that can be implemented across various nursing roles that are specific to their work. We extend our sincere gratitude to nurses who are currently serving on the front-lines of the COVID-19 pandemic and the entire nursing profession for their dedication to our health and safety.
