RELEASE: The Maryland Department of Health today announced Operation Courage, a new support services program designed to address the long-term mental health care needs of frontline workers and first responders amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Operation Courage offers an online assessment followed by a free consultation, which includes an initial 15-20 minute conversation, de-escalation for people experiencing an immediate crisis, and may include recommendations for self-care or referrals to other services, depending on the level of need. After the initial call, people who decide to engage are then offered up to six-weeks of therapy consisting of an evaluation, treatment plan, psychotherapy and ongoing assessments as needed.
“From inside hospitals to grocery stores, employees are working under prolonged and extreme stress. Through Operation Courage, we will support those who continue to answer the calls of a country in crisis, to help them weather this prolonged storm, and to emerge as mentally healthy as possible,” said MDH Acting Secretary Dennis R. Schrader.
