Members lead Stress-relief Workshop
October 20, 2023
The New York cohort of members who took part in the Union-led Member Leadership Development Program identified a need to address the ongoing effects of stress that many healthcare professionals are still experiencing as a result of the pandemic.
“Like so many others, I suffered from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder from that time,” recalls Nicole Frith, an 1199 Delegate and LPN at Brookdale Hospital in Brooklyn. “So, we organized a workshop at the Union headquarters with yoga, breathing techniques and information about diet and exercise, as well as acupuncture, massage and counseling that our health plan provides.”
