  • INTRODUCTION: The COVID‐19 pandemic has brought a health care crisis of unparalleled devastation. A mental health crisis as a second wave has begun to emerge in our front‐line health care workers. OBJECTIVE: To address these needs, The Healthcare Worker Mental Health COVID‐19 Hotline, based on crisis intervention principles, was developed and launched in 2 weeks. METHODS: Upon reflection of why this worked, we decided it might be useful to describe what we now recognize as 13‐steps which led to our success. The process included the following: (1) anticipate mental health needs; (2) use leadership capable of mobilizing the systems and resources; (3) convene a multidisciplinary team; (4) delegate tasks and set timelines; (5) choose a clinical service model; (6) motivate staff as a workforce of volunteers; (7) develop training and educational materials; (8) develop personal, local, and national resources; (9) develop marketing plans; (10) deliver the training; (11) launch a 24 hr/7days per week Healthcare Worker Mental Health COVID‐19 Hotline, and launch follow‐up sessions for staff; (12) structure data collection to determine effectiveness and outcomes; and (13) obtain funding (not required). DISCUSSION: We believe the process we used is specifically useful for others who may want to develop a COVID‐19 hotline services for health care workers and generally useful for the development of other mental health services. CONCLUSION: We hope that this process may serve as a guide for other heath care systems.
