At the 77th World Health Assembly Side Event organized by the University of Utah, our panelists discussed the urgent need to support the well-being and resilience of health workers. We explored efforts to raise awareness, expand research, and initiate crucial discussions among stakeholders worldwide. We discovered how a shift towards a 'people-centered' approach in healthcare is essential for supporting a resilient and effective health system. Learn from experts and frontline perspectives on navigating these critical issues. The discussion emphasized the importance of effective manager training in mental health support, advocating for organizational change rather than mere stress management.
