The mental health crisis among healthcare workers is worse than you think—and it’s entirely fixable

The mental health crisis among healthcare workers is worse than you think—and it’s entirely fixable. Despite supporting over a million people, Frontline 19 reveals the shocking reality: on average, one nurse takes their life every week, and a doctor every three weeks. How did we get here, and what can we do about it before it’s too late? Join Dr. Steve Taylor, DAUK Co-Lead, as he sits down with Samantha Wathen, Chief Operating Officer of Frontline 19, and psychotherapist Claire Goodwin-Fee, CEO and Founder of Frontline 19, to expose the hidden toll of mental health struggles in healthcare. You'll discover the startling data behind rising stress, burnout, and suicide risk—especially among nurses and women—and why the stigma around seeking support persists. But more importantly, we break down tangible solutions that are surprisingly simple and cost-effective. From debrief spaces to changing workplace culture, the guests share strategies that can save lives and rebuild resilience. You’ll learn how policy short-termism, low investment, and toxic culture keep the system broken—and how we can flip the script for the future of healthcare. This episode is an urgent call to action for healthcare workers, policymakers, and anyone who cares about a healthier, more compassionate system. If you believe mental health support should be a right, not a privilege, this conversation is essential listening. Website http://frontline19.com
