Nurses helping Nurses.
Nurses saving Nurses.
Nursing has long been seen as the most trusted profession, but what are nurses doing to help each other, to support each other? This project is aimed at helping nurses help each other to overcome mental health challenges, workplace issues, and more. This is your sounding board your trusted resource and reference, your shoulder to cry on. Together we can help to eliminate the stigma of seeking mental health care amongst the healthcare professions and help to save our nurses.

“If you know someone who’s depressed, please resolve never to ask them why. Depression isn’t a straightforward response to a bad situation; depression just is, like the weather.
Try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness, and loneliness they’re going through. Be there for them when they come through the other side. It’s hard to be a friend to someone who’s depressed, but it is one of the kindest, noblest, and best things you will ever do.”
― Stephen Fry
The Emergency Nurses Association has noted that:
The crisis has significantly affected emergency nurses and other health workers.
Many have left the profession. Others have attempted or committed suicide.
According to the 2020 CDC report, 54 percent of essential workers, a category that includes health care workers, reported having at least one negative mental or behavioral health condition.
Data from the CDC’s National Violent Death Reporting System indicates that nurses die by suicide at significantly higher rates than non-nurses.
Moreover, health care professionals, including emergency nurses, often feel stigmatized or that their professional future will be at risk if they seek assistance for mental health issues.
Clearly, more needs to be done to promote the mental and behavioral well-being of health care workers risking their lives to care for their communities.
By fully supporting these professionals, they are better able to serve their patients and their communities.
