When Trauma Hits Home: Nurses' Mental Health with Katrina Stephenson and Sarah Bohachyk

Nurses see patients at some of the most challenging times of their lives. But nurses can also experience their own struggles, at which point their own self-care and wellness need to take priority.

In this emotional and inspirational episode, hosts Gail Donner and Mary Wheeler speak with Katrina Stephenson and Sarah Bohachyk about the mental health struggles that nurses themselves face.

Katrina and Sarah describe their own personal struggles with mental health injuries, and how their trauma has affected their personal and professional lives over the past number of years. They openly share their personal experiences, and what they have done to overcome their challenges. As co-founders of Nurse 2 Nurse Peer Support, Katrina and Sarah are ensuring that their experiences can empower and educate other nurses. Watch and listen to their stories now.
