A Message from the U.S. Surgeon General’s Office

 

“We know that better is not only possible but is vital before any more lives are lost among us or impacted further by the stigma that surrounds mental health. Health workers, in particular, now more than ever, deserve the care, treatment, and support they need, whenever they need it, and without any shame or fear of losing their health professional licenses, jobs, even careers.”
