New Toolkit for Leaders Supporting Frontline
Healthcare Worker Mental Health
As part of the Frontline Connect:
Mental Health for the Healthcare
Workforce initiative, the Center
released a high-impact multimedia
toolkit that highlights efective
strategies for healthcare leaders
focused on initiatives that improve
access to timely and efective mental health care for frontline clinicians.
Caring for Caregivers
APAF was awarded an Alkermes Inspiration Grant for the Caregivers Mental
Wellness Support project. Family caregivers are critical care providers to
those with serious mental health conditions; however, their mental health
often deteriorates under the pressure of caregiving responsibilities. APAF
will develop mental health educational tools for those who interact with
caregivers in the workplace and communities, as well as resources that
will speak directly to family caregivers based on their unique needs.
Where We Play
APAF ofcially launched its new Where We Play initiative in Baton Rouge,
Louisiana. APAF convened collegiate athletes, coaches, physicians,
politicians, and community leaders to hear frst-hand from athletes about
their unique mental health needs. Speakers included representatives
from APA membership and LSU’s psychiatry residency training
program, student athletes from Louisiana State University and Southern
University, and mental health advocates. This program provided valuable
insights that will inform our work in this space and heightened clinician
awareness about the importance of treating both body and mind.
