PROTEST ALERT: Mental Health Professionals Demand Safety NOW
We are your SEIU-UHW brothers and sisters at Telecare Willow Rock, a mental health facility where we provide care to some of our community’s most vulnerable members. Our work has become especially challenging during this pandemic, in large part because of our employer. Telecare management calls us heroes, but they treat us like second-class citizens by refusing to take our safety concerns seriously and putting us and our patients in harm’s way.
Today we joined together with community members in a socially-distanced protest to demand that management provide safe working conditions and the staffing we need to properly care for our patients during this crisis.
Will you take a few seconds to show that you have our backs? Click here to tweet a message to our employer showing that you stand with caregivers and patients at Telecare!
“As nurses and mental health professionals, we’re tired of hearing how essential we are — and then seeing unsafe staff-to-patient ratios and slow or no responses to our safety concerns.”
Walker Morgan, LVN, Telecare Willow Rock
