APAF’s Center for Workplace Mental
Health released a new, enhanced
version of its mental health training
for people managers, NTA at Work®.
Enhancements include additional
skills scenarios, stigma reduction
content, and user experience and
accessibility upgrades. In addition

training, the Center also created a new
peer-to-peer employee training module which will be available in ten languages

tools to talk to peers who may be struggling and to connect them with care.

Launched in 2024, Frontline Connect is an initiative that provides leaders of
hospitals and health systems with high-impact resources and strategies to
improve access to mental health services and supports for the healthcare
workforce. The robust visual toolkit offers proven strategies for health systems
leadership working to address the mental health and well-being of the front
line workforce from reducing burnout to building clinician resilience. Over
300 hospitals throughout the country downloaded the toolkit in 2024.
Addressing the Mental Health
Needs of Working Caregivers
In recognition of November as
Caregivers Month, the Center
released a new guidance document
for employers providing best
practices for addressing the needs
of employees who are caregivers.
The Guide was created through the
generous support of Alkermes.
Mental Health Care Works Campaign
In 2024, the APA Foundation continued the signature Mental Health Care
Works campaign with the goal of showcasing the effectiveness of mental
health care and encouraging those struggling to “make the call” to seek help.
This multi-year initiative features six individuals representing different mental
health conditions and reaches audiences nationwide through Public Service
Announcements, supported through
impact tours in Boston, Houston, and
the Washington, D.C. Metro Area.
The campaign surpassed 500 million
audience impressions, targeting
engaged individuals ready to seek help
but unsure how. To address this need,
the website, mentalhealthcareworks.
org, was expanded offering additional
resources, videos, and storytelling.
