Health worker wellness initiative launched

Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes’ Foundation launched an initiative to mark Health Workforce Well-Being Day on March 18. The initiative contains six actions to improve health workers’ mental health care access. The actions are ensuring accessible and affordable mental health care; committing to equal privacy in mental health care; strengthening access to confidential professional or physician health program support; guaranteeing confidential peer support; encouraging education and training on mental health and professional well-being; and advancing a supportive pathway for re-entry.
