Healthcare's Crisis: How One Program is Helping North American Workers Fight Burnout

Written by Team MindWell | 7/14/25 8:05 PM

 

The global emergency declared during the COVID-19 may be over, but the crisis it magnified for healthcare workers is far from resolved.

Healthcare systems across Canada and the U.S. are still under immense strain. Reports from CBC News in Canada regularly reports on emergency room closures, staffing shortages, and growing patient wait times. South of the border, The New York Times has chronicled the "Great Resignation" in healthcare and the ongoing mental health toll it continues to take on frontline workers.

Burnout, chronic stress, and moral distress have become widespread, with ripple effects seen across hospitals, long-term care facilities, and community clinics.

 

“It should not be surprising that almost half of physicians also expressed a likelihood to reduce their clinical hours over the next two years. Those most likely to do so are physicians experiencing burnout and low professional fulfillment.” Canadian Medical Association, July 2023

 

 

 

MindWell for Healthcare Workers: A Proven, Pandemic-Tested Solution

While long-term solutions will require systemic change, some tools are already helping mitigate the emotional and mental fallout. MindWell for Healthcare Workers is one of them. Commissioned by Health Canada during the pandemic, the training was created by and for healthcare professionals to provide real-time, relevant, and scalable mental health support to professionals facing the most demanding circumstances.

The program has helped over 10,000 healthcare workers significantly reduce stress, anxiety, and PTSD while improving focus, performance, and resilience - in just four weeks.
