BILL NUMBER: S8608

SPONSOR: CARLUCCI
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the mental hygiene law, in relation to establishing the
frontline workers trauma informed care advisory council

 
PURPOSE:

To establish an advisory council within the Office of Mental Health that
would ensure the trauma related behavioral health needs of essential
workers during the COVID-19 pandemic are met

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 adds a new section 7.48 to the Mental Hygiene Law to establish
the parameters of the Frontline Workers Trauma Informed Care Advisory
Council within the Office of Mental Health. The council shall issue a
report to the Legislature no later than December 1, 2020.

Section 2 establishes the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Collective trauma is a psychological trauma experienced by a group of
people of any size, up to and including an entire society in response to
a mass traumatizing event. Mental health researchers are already antic-
ipating that there will be collective trauma associated with the COVID-
19
 pandemic. In the broadest sense, this collective trauma will be experi-
enced globally, but more specifically, it will be experienced dispropor-
tionately by certain subgroups of people exposed more directly to the
impact of the pandemic, such as frontline workers. Anticipating the
mental health needs of these workers is essential for their own personal
well-being and for those individuals who rely on their vital care.

At this time, it is uncertain how long this pandemic will last or how
long it will be before some sense of normalcy is restored. It is crit-
ical, however, to plan now for mental health interventions to be put in
place in anticipation of the emotional and psychological needs of these
frontline workers. Based on our knowledge of trauma, and by extension
collective trauma, we can anticipate that many of these individuals will
experience Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, anxiety, depression and
substance use disorders. The impact of these disorders will include
absenteeism, disability and unemployment, which can compound health care
and mental health care access issues.

This advisory council will ensure that trauma related behavioral health
needs of essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic are met.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
