We are going through a crisis together. We want to help you tell your stories of how you are feeling, how you are coping, victories and setbacks, in fighting the pandemic as well as related stress and trauma as a result of racial, class, and gender inequality and uncertainty.

• Describe your best day and/or your worst day since the pandemic started.
• How has the pandemic changed your work?
• How has your mindset changed from the very beginning of the pandemic to today?
• What would you like to say to other healthcare workers?
• What do you wish the general public knew about what it’s like to be a healthcare worker right now?
