As part of commitment to health equity and labor justice, we’re sharing this update with our DGR community to spotlight the ongoing mental health workers’ strike at Kaiser Permanente in Southern California. Nearly 2,400 therapists, psychologists, and social workers began an open-ended strike on October 21, demanding fair staffing, pay, and working conditions—essential steps toward providing patients with timely, effective mental health care.
