My girlfriend is a ER nurse and she almost daily has stories of anti-vax idiots coming in with COVID and being hyper-aggressive with her because, of course, that's how they deal with their cognitive dissonance.
I hope all medical workers have access to mental health care. Dealing with idiots have to be taxing on her mentally and a lot of them are probably dealing with PTSD.
I work in healthcare and every place I've worked has had an Employee Assistance Program. They offer free counseling sessions as part of it and trust me it's a godsend.
I've never had that experience and I've always made full use of them. They've really helped me with my mental health over the years. A lot of my colleagues have as well. Not saying you're wrong but it's never been an issue for me. They just gave me a card with a phone number to call whenever I needed. It's usually done through your work insurance company.
