Healthcare workers continue to work without fully processing the stress of the pandemic on their overall health.

At Huntington Hospital, a need was identified to give caregivers an opportunity to grieve and process their experiences.

The activities in this program may be duplicated in other celebrations such as Nurses Day recognition.

Cet article présente l’état actuel des connaissances sur la relation entre les conditions de travail et le développement de troubles mentaux et fait des recommandations relatives aux mesures qui pourraient être prises pour protéger la santé mentale au travail.
