What happens after a health worker asks for help?
In this episode, psychiatric nurse practitioner Chris Wojnar examines what often follows disclosure of mental health concerns, substance use challenges, or impairment in healthcare settings - and why system response matters more than intent.
Using real-world patterns from clinical care, policy work, and organizational consulting, this conversation explores two very different pathways that can follow the same moment of vulnerability. One pathway is threat-centered and discipline-driven, often leading to license suspension, financial strain, prolonged monitoring, and worsening distress. The other is opportunity-centered...grounded in peer support, evidence-based care, proportional accountability, and supported return to work.
This conversation is not about discouraging health workers from seeking care. It is about designing systems that respond with dignity, safety, and recovery as the expected outcome - protecting both individuals and the workforce as a whole.
This episode includes discussion of health worker mental health challenges and suicide.
The conversation is focused on prevention, recovery, and systems-level solutions.
Listener discretion is advised.
If you or someone you know needs support, help is available by calling or texting 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in the U.S.
