COVID-19 Mental Health Support and Resources
This is a challenging time for sonographers across the country. We find ourselves in various scenarios; some members have experienced lay-offs due to the COVID-19 pandemic while others are still working at their site, social distanced from their co-workers and wearing PPE while they scan. Sonography Canada identifies that this is a stressful time for our members and will continue to support you as the COVID-19 situation evolves. Mental health plays a huge role in an individual’s overall health and we want to be sure members are aware of the supports available to Canadians.
