MHCA staff recently had the pleasure of meeting with Yemaya St. Clair, EAP Counselor from NorthernLight to discuss the wide variety of services offered through the StrengthenME initiative to support the mental health needs of healthcare workers as the pandemic continues. Supports include master classes for leaders, workshops for frontline workers, lunch and learn wellness workshops, life coaching, the Maine FrontlineWarmline, leadership consultations, and wellness groups. The full scope of services document can be found here. Each offering is highly customizable with the goal of reducing barriers for staff to receive the help they need.

Also, we are excited to share that Yemaya will be presenting a breakout session at the upcoming MHCA Virtual Fall Health Care Expo, as well as joining the Listening Session during day 3 of the conference, focusing on Healthcare Worker Self-Care. We hope these opportunities to engage with this initiative will help you support your team members.
