Abstract
The American Psychiatric Association Foundation (APAF) last week announced the launch of new resources from Frontline Connect, an initiative designed to increase access to mental health services and supports for leaders of hospitals and health systems. According to APAF, 60% of health care workers said the COVID‐19 pandemic negatively impacted their mental health. In 2021, one in three health care workers either received mental health services or thought services were needed but did not seek out care. Frontline Connect is a resource from APAF's Center for Workplace Mental Health that provides hospital and health system leadership with high‐impact tools for overcoming barriers to mental health care. Each of the innovations and interventions highlighted in the new toolkit is operating at various pilot institutions, and many require little to no additional financial resources, the APAF news release stated. Made possible by the Brave of Heart Fund, Frontline Connect includes resources on peer support, employee assistance programs, reforming licensure and credentialing questions, manager training, and more. The new video toolkit includes conversations with several leaders in the field of health care workers' mental well‐being. For more information, visit https://frontlineconnect.org.
