Here4HealthCare: A Response to the Emerging Mental Health Crisis of the Frontline Healthcare Workforce

Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health
4 February 2021

Abstract

Instead of simply observing a looming mental health crisis for the front line healthcare workforce in the wake of Covid-19, a community mental health agency in Ontario created a coordinated response by tailoring their services to front line healthcare workers, first responders, and their families to stay ahead of the curve.

Résumé

Plutôt que de constater simplement une crise imminente de santé mentale pour les travailleurs en santé de première ligne dans le contexte de la COVID-19, une agence communautaire de santé mentale d’Ontario a créé une réponse coordonnée en adaptant ses services aux employés de première ligne, aux premiers intervenants et à leur famille afin d’assurer une marge d’anticipation.
