The mental health crisis for healthcare workers isn’t going away. In fact, it’s growing. A recent study from American Hospital Association found that 93% of health care workers reported stress, 86% reported anxiety, 77% reported frustration, 76% reported exhaustion and burnout, and 75% said they were overwhelmed. Without a support system, employees are left to manage their mental health on their own. For some, they never manage their mental health at all.
With May honoring Mental Health Awareness, there is no better time to bring attention to burnout and put measures into place to help combat this workplace problem.

Addressing social determinants of health and educating healthcare staff makes direct progress toward health equity, a world where every person has the opportunity to attain their highest level of health and care. Social determinants of health have a lasting impact on society, creating inequities in access to housing, education, wealth, and employment. All of this puts people at higher risk of poor health.
