Beyond the physical stress they face as they combat the COVID-19 pandemic, medical frontliners are also exposed to high levels of psychological stress. With the number of positive cases continuing to rise, the lack of protective equipment and vital information about the virus still unknown, frontliners experience symptoms of depression and anxiety.
As a way of helping protect our frontliners, clinics and organizations are offering mental health services for frontliners as they continue to battle COVID-19.
