The COVID-19 pandemic brings huge challenges to the delivery of health care in Aotearoa, and on those providing leadership across the Health & Disability sector. Leadership during this time will be demanding and stressful, members of your teams may be fearful and anxious, requiring reassurance and facts to understand the complex issue of COVID-19. 

This page provides useful information to support leaders in their roles through maintaining their own wellbeing in times of crisis, enabling them to care for the teams they work with. Click the + symbol to expand each section.
