Mental Health
The past year has pushed our already stressed nursing workforce to the limit!

What will the bill do for nurses?
This bill would require a mental health resiliency program to provide mental health services to licensed health care providers (.e.g nurses) who provide or have provided healthcare services to COVID-19 patients.
Background:
The COVID-19 pandemic has pushed nurses and other first responders to their limits. Long hours under stressful and dangerous conditions, fears about contracting the virus, and separation from loved ones is leading to lasting consequences for our front-line professionals.
