Circle of Care is committed to protecting and promoting psychological well-being and safety of employees. Feelings of stress and anxiety have only been made worse by the COVID-19 pandemic, and we know that many employees have struggled with mental health issues such as burnout, compassion fatigue, and have continued to face other stressors in their lives. As employees on the front line who take care of clients every day, it is important that you take care of yourselves so that you can better serve your families, clients and your community.<\/p>\n
