Strategies that have been shown to be effective in reducing the risk of adverse mental health impact amongst healthcare professionals. The diagram summarises the three strategies (non-hierarchical) that can be organised by healthcare employers to support the mental health and mental wellbeing of healthcare professionals: (1) preservative strategies via support programmes implemented by the employer, (2) healthy lifestyle facilitated by the employer and self-delivered by the individual, and (3) early and easy access to the tailored therapeutic interventions on an individual basis delivered by trained mental health professionals.
