In 2021, the American Rescue Plan funded research, interventions, training, and education in response to the mental health crisis unfolding due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Academy of Medicine, the US Surgeon General, and other stakeholders called for action. This supplement was conceived by the CDC’s National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to share the latest response to the needs of a diverse workforce.
