Building Mental Health into an Emergency Management Program

When critical events happen that affect our lives and the way we do work, there can be an impact on the mental health of workers. When events are widespread, sudden and leave us with uncertainty in the near future, they can have an impact on the mental health of workers. As we navigate the continued response to COVID-19 and the eventual lifting of emergency measures, we need to look at how to build mental health into our emergency management and business continuity programs.
