Our community of exceptional nurses is facing a crisis unlike anything we've seen before. Every day, we bring our all to our work caring for patients under these unprecedented conditions, sometimes on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic and always on the frontlines of our patients' vulnerability.
AACN recognizes the mental and emotional stresses you may be facing.
To help, we've partnered with the nation's leading nursing organizations to provide you with free tools and resources to support your mental health and well-being.

Happy App
This app includes modifications specifically for nurses to help manage the stress, anxiety, fear and isolation that often come from working with the sickest patients whether from COVID-19 or other morbidity.

This resource helps you understand when and how to access social and peer support, as well as mental health services and treatment.
Online Self-Assessment
