“It’s taking even more from us than usual. Not only are we coping with our own lives at home but trying to give 100% at work. It’s a difficult time.” – a midwife

The video message to nurses and midwives, is that while you’ve been doing an important job caring for people impacted by COVID-19, you’re only human. The stress of working and living in the COVID-19 pandemic has been ongoing for months and the long-term stresses can have serious impacts on your physical and mental health.
