Supporting Mental Health for Healthcare Workers - Sara Sarkey, U.S. Medical at Takeda

“We really see frontline healthcare workers as a segment of the population that has been uniquely impacted by the pandemic, and we recognize that they need some mental health supports,” says Sara Sarkey who, as vice president of Neuroscience and Vaccines for U.S. Medical at Takeda, is involved in a variety of initiatives to address the unmet needs of people with health challenges. The latest is a virtual coaching platform developed in partnership with Takeda, Lundbeck, Pack Health and Osmosis. “It's for anyone who self-selects for mental health issues. We're just trying to make sure we get the supports to the people who truly need them right now.” Check out this episode of Raise the Line with host Shiv Gaglani to learn more about this one-of-a-kind program as well as the mission of Takeda, which includes going beyond providing medications to building an ecosystem to support patients and destigmatize mental health.
