The COVID-19 pandemic has led to unprecedented changes across the globe challenging every aspect of what was previously considered 'usual' or 'normal' life. Everyday aspects of previous life as we knew it has changed and impacted our personal lives, employment, education, community connections, and social activities. For many people, the impact of these changes in previous pandemics has resulted in psychological distress (Usher et al. 2020a), associated with high levels of uncertainty leading to feelings of despair, hopelessness, despair, grief, and loss of purpose across individuals, families, and communities (Usher et al. 2020b). Isolation strategies, imposed to contain the spread of the infection, also led to significant social and economic consequences across the community, resulting in increased deleterious psychosocial outcomes (Usher et al. 2020c). Health workers have been consistently shown to experience higher levels of anxiety and depression related to pandemics than the general public (Bettinsoli et al. 2020; Gómez-Duran et al. 2020) and a recent study exploring impacts of COVID-19 reported that health workers experienced unpleasant emotions such as fear, hyper-arousal, intrusive memories and insomnia, and emotional exhaustion (Braquehais et al. 2020).
