Mental Health and Self-Care Resources for UNA Members
Having to work and provide family care and self-care during these unprecedented times can not only be stressful but can be traumatizing. United Nurses of Alberta recognizes that these events can affect our members in different ways.
There is no right or wrong way for each individual to respond to stress and trauma.
The health and safety of our members and their patients remains our priority, so UNA encourages members in distress to use the following resources to assist you with monitoring your own personal mental health.
