AICC Covid-19 Support Groups for Nurses and Healthcare Workers
Nurses and healthcare workers in general have gone through a lot in the phase of the Covid-19 pandemic. Consequently, AICC ran biweekly and culturally tailored support groups for African nurses and other essential healthcare workers. The goal was to provide a shared space for them to meet with other African nurses from various clinics and build supportive network. In addition, share their experiences, challenges and coping strategies so that they can learn from each other, build coping strategies, and identify available resources that they may not be aware of and to develop ways to be better equipped for the future.
