Back to Self-Care Overview

As the COVID-19 crisis continues to evolve, AHNCC is exploring ways to offer nurses and the public, resources that support holistic health and well-being. This page will be updated regularly to include new informational events, education, and ways we can boost our immune systems, nurture our mental, emotional, and spiritual health, and deal with our anxiety and stressors, in a way that does not diminish our overall state of well-being. It is not AHNCC’s intent to duplicate information regarding safety precautions and measures, COVID-19 data, and the spread of the virus that can be found elsewhere.
