Abstract
The data regarding mental health is varied, usually originating from other countries and territories. Although there are benefits to this data, having data specifically from MUHC could provide better insight on our own practices. Using this data collected from MUHC, we could tailor our own plan to improve nursing mental health and retain more staff. Utilizing data from established mental health surveys and studies, conducted at the University Hospital, we could incorporate mental health wellness opportunities for current and new staff. These opportunities could be offered at orientation and annually with a large-scale promotion of the opportunities. After implementation, the same surveys are conducted to staff who have received the mental health training to evaluate for effectiveness.
