Be The Change

Attention to All Nurses, Nursing Students, Healthcare Professionals, and Everyone Everywhere!

My name is Helene Morel, MSN, PMHNP-BC, and I am the Founder and CEO of Nurses Love Their Young, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to supporting the mental well-being of nursing students and newly graduated nurses.

My professional path has been shaped by clinical experience and a deep commitment to supporting nurses as they navigate the demands of training and practice. In my clinical role, I provide therapy and medication management through the Grow Therapy online platform. I am also honored to serve as a Mental Health preceptor, supporting and educating nurse practitioner students as they grow into compassionate providers.

My clinical work and advocacy continue to inform my commitment to fostering environments where nurses feel supported, respected, and empowered rather than isolated. I believe compassionate, trauma-informed care plays an essential role in promoting resilience, professional growth, and sustainable well-being within the nursing profession.

I am inspired by the quote, “Trauma Blocks Love. Love Heals Trauma,” by Dr. Frank Anderson.

As a registered nurse and PMHNP-BC, I am dedicated to creating meaningful change within our profession. Driven by this mission, I founded Nurses Love Their Young, an organization focused on strengthening the culture of nursing through support, mentorship, and mental health advocacy. I have witnessed the challenges created by the culture often described as “Nurses Eat Their Young” — a cycle of burnout, stress, and disconnection that our profession has the power to transform. Through education, advocacy, and community support, we aim to foster a culture rooted in compassion, collaboration, and respect.

Together, we can reshape the future of nursing by creating environments where every nurse feels valued and supported. Your involvement helps expand access to vital mental health resources for nursing students and newly graduated nurses as they navigate the complexities of their professional journeys.

I invite you to stand with us in building a stronger, more supportive nursing community. Join the Nurses Love Their Youngmovement and help us create lasting change.

TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!
