Federal action needed to help address rising stress and burnout among healthcare workers

Federal action needed to help address rising stress and burnout among healthcare workers

HealthCareCAN is issuing a call to action to address the rising stress and burnout rates among healthcare workers battling the COVID-19 pandemic.

To facilitate the growing need for resources for health care providers, HealthCareCAN is asking the government to:

  1. Ensure proper mental health supports and programs are in place to assist healthcare workers now and once the pandemic is over.
  2. Work with stakeholders, address the factors that contribute to increased stress, anxiety, depression and burnout in healthcare workers.
  3. Implement a national health human resources strategy to tackle the shortage of health professionals, create a more inclusive and resilient health system, and deliver on your government’s promise that every Canadian have access to a family doctor or primary health care team.
