Alliance Highlight
Professional Baseball Athletic Trainers Society (PBATS) – On May 9, 2023 in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, PBATS announced the launch of a new mental health awareness public service announcement (PSA) campaign. Developed in collaboration with ODEP and Major League Baseball, the PSA aims to raise awareness about the importance of worker mental well-being and provide resources for anyone in need of support. As part of this, it highlights ODEP’s four-part framework for a mental health-friendly workplace, known as the “4 A’s”—awareness, accommodations, assistance and access to treatment.
