Addressing mental health challenges among nurses and healthcare workers is essential for sustaining a healthy workforce in public health settings. Effective institutional responses should include comprehensive support services, resilience training, and a culture that prioritizes mental well-being. By investing in these initiatives, healthcare organizations can improve staff retention, enhance job satisfaction, and ultimately provide better patient care.

Recognizing and rewarding the efforts Oussama Raouani of healthcare workers through formal awards, team celebrations, or simple thank-you notes can boost morale and provide motivation.

Case Studies of Successful Programs:

• Cleveland Clinic's Wellness Program: Focuses on mental well-being with initiatives like meditation rooms, fitness resources, and counseling services.
• Johns Hopkins Medicine: Offers a comprehensive program that includes mindfulness training, peer support, and a focus on fostering a culture of well-being.
• Mayo Clinic: Established a well-being program that incorporates mental health resources, resilience training, and employee appreciation activities.

Thank you very much Dr. Stephen I. Ternyik for this insightful and encouraging response.

I truly appreciate your emphasis on institutional strategies that value mental well-being in healthcare settings. The examples you shared from Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins, and Mayo Clinic are inspiring and will be very helpful for my ongoing research and local proposals.

Your kind mention motivates me further to continue advocating for mental health support among nurses and health technicians in Morocco.

Warm regards,

What people in healthcare professions experience on a daily basis never leaves them unscathed. For this reason, every institution should develop a specific program Oussama Raouani to maintain the mental and emotional health of all employees. The long-term mental effects of everyday experiences and crises in particular are underestimated everywhere and attempts are made to rationalize them professionally; however, this is only possible to a limited extent, as key events are also processed differently by individuals. This is only meant as a reflection, with respect to a healthy health system and professionals.

Thank you once again, Dr. Stephen I. Ternyik , for your particularly thoughtful and insightful reflection.

I fully agree that the psychological impact of daily clinical work and critical events should never be underestimated. Institutions must move beyond mere professional rationalization and acknowledge the real emotional burden carried by healthcare workers.

Your support reinforces the urgent need to advocate for structured mental health programs, especially in low-income countries, including many in Africa—and more specifically in Morocco, where I am conducting my work.

I remain fully committed to advancing this cause and contributing to the well-being of health professionals.
