Bill > HR8887

This bill directs the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to establish a research program to identify and address workplace stressors that contribute to adverse mental health outcomes, such as traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, and suicide among frontline, essential, and other affected workers across all industries and occupations. The program will develop best practices and recommendations for organizational-level workplace interventions and support services, including wraparound services, mental health awareness initiatives, workplace stress prevention programs, and training programs to promote work-related stress prevention and reduction, as well as strategies to prevent burnout. The bill also requires NIOSH to coordinate and support efforts to develop comprehensive, evidence-informed approaches to support mental and behavioral health as part of worker wellbeing and related occupational safety and health programs. The bill authorizes $10 million in funding for each of the fiscal years 2023 through 2025 to carry out these activities.
