Nurses and Carers for Health: Resource Page

Nurses and carers have been at particular risk during the coronavirus pandemic, both from a physical and mental health perspective. C3 engaged with healthcare workers through surveys and focus groups to identify what resources they would like to learn more about preventing major risks for COVID-19 for themselves and their communities. Below is a digital library we’ve pulled together in response to those requests.
