End the Silence - Stories of Nurses

End the Silence - Guest Sarah Bohachyk

Sandra Payne Season 1 Episode 1

Sarah Bohachyk is a Registered Nurse in Alberta Canada and has worked in the Emergency Department for over 10 years.  She is also completing her Masters of Nursing Degree through Athabasca University.

In 2016 Sarah started experiencing symptoms of trauma, and in 2019 she experienced another traumatic injury at work that triggered Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, leaving her unable to work, and at times barely managing day to day living.

She has been off work for most of 2020 due to her PTSD injury and the lengthy recovery and healing process of trauma and she is now looking to improve the lives of other nurses who are also struggling.

Sarah has teamed up with other nurses to start the Nurse to Nurse Peer Support Organization, hoping to have it's approval for non-profit status in the very near future.  They are supporting nurses via online meetings and support in an effort to bridge the gap in the services offered and provided to nurses who are suffering with mental health injury.
