Question

What is the recommendation in this passage: despite the logical need for mental health support for healthcare workers, the sources indicate that many healthcare institutions do not provide adequate resources. This includes a lack of mental health benefits, insufficient mental health programs, and a general lack of awareness and understanding of the mental health challenges that healthcare workers face. This lack of resources contributes to the extraordinary levels of stress and burn-out among healthcare workers. "While barriers to treatment include a lack of resources and trained health workers, the social stigma and shame surrounding mental health is often the greatest impediment to care," (Hamadeh, 2022). Murthy also explains that workplace culture should be "normalizing discussions about workers' mental health and establishing screening and prevention programs, so workers can not only express their needs but also be given ways to have their needs met long term," (2022). According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, a program offered by most employers called the EAP (Employee Assistance Program) "provides assessment, short-term counseling, referral, management consultation, and coaching services to federal employees, and is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year," (U.S. Department of Health and Human Resources, 2022).
