May 6, 2021 | 8:30 am - 10:00 am

The data and employer experience show an increase in the prevalence of mental health issues since the start of the pandemic and finding the right treatment can be difficult.

The mounting workforce mental health challenges caused by this crisis include:

  1. Access to care
  2. Out-of-network costs
