Nurse staffing platform Trusted Health announced it partnered with the Ohio State University College of Nursing to create a program to support the mental health of nurses. Pilot versions of the program will be in New York and Michigan.

Under the program, nurses employed by Trusted Health who are working in facilities with Covid-19 patients will have access to an emotional support line staffed by a nurse practioner faculty, including mental health experts and supervised students. The faculty and students will review stressors with callers and offer coping strategies and stress-reduction techniques.

Nurses who call the emotional support line may then opt to participate in a wellness support partnership program supported by the College of Nursing for a period of four or eight weeks.
