There are two prongs to this.
One is better support for the mental health of the health workforce, including PSWs and people who work in long-term care, and the importance of attending to moral injury and psychological support for the comprehensive health workforce.
Second, we need to pay attention to the mental health and substance use health workforce in and of itself to make sure that the critical role it has to play in improving access to high-quality care isn't overlooked in the very important focus on the mental health of the broader health workforce.
They are both very important. We can't improve equitable access to mental health services unless we have more people trained and able to provide those. That's where the need for that comprehensive mental health workforce strategy is so important.
