Why do we need this program?
The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted the mental health and well-being of frontline healthcare workers. Many continue to experience crisis-level rates of stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, suicidality, trauma, and substance use. Yet healthcare workers are not accessing the mental health care they need when they need it.
Frontline Connect works to break down common barriers that often impede access to care, such as stigma, fear of retribution at work, and discrimination, and more.
This toolkit provides tangible next steps to help health care leadership implement evidence-based stratgies to improve access to care and the mental health and well-being of the frontline workforce.
