About Us
The Johns Hopkins P.O.E. Total Worker Health® Center in Mental Health was established in 2021 with the goal to identify, test, and refine interventions that will keep workers mentally and physically well. Our work particularly focuses on workplace function and worker health during and after a crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Our activities are oriented around holistic approaches to integrate Psychosocial factors, Organizational conditions and Environmental exposures to improve worker and enterprise outcomes. The POE Center is part of the NIOSH Total Worker Health® Program and is a Center of Excellence for Total Worker Health®.
The POE Center includes our Outreach Core, Evaluation & Planning Core, Research Pilot Project Program, and research projects.
