Addressing Mental Health Concerns: Two Free Resources for the Healthcare Industry

With 46% of health workers reporting frequent burnout and 37% of RNs reporting they feel burned out most days, it’s no wonder the CDC has stated: “Health workers face a mental health crisis.” In this blog, we’re sharing two free resources that can help you identify and mitigate mental health stressors in healthcare.

Free Curriculum for Nurses

The second resource is a free curriculum designed to help nurses cope with stress and burnout. In October, the American Nurses Foundation, in partnership with the United Health Foundation, the philanthropic foundation of UnitedHealth Group, officially launched Nurse Well-Being: Building Peer and Leadership Support.

According to a press release, early survey results show the program has been successful. There have been reports of a 28% decrease in burnout among nurses enrolled in the pilot program after six months.

“The full program curriculum is a free resource available to all nurses,” reports the American Nurses Foundation. “It includes a comprehensive overview, a training guide for nurse leaders, an implementation guide, and the complete course, all of which offers continuing education credits for nurses. Initially designed as a peer-to-peer program, Nurse Well-Being has been adapted based on insights from pilot sites and focus groups. Now, it places special emphasis on training nurse leaders and developing their roles within the program.”
