A duty of care exists even in a place so capitalist as in America. A factory has a duty to protect the health and safety of employee's by not having dangerous machinery that they dont maintain and then ends up maining someone, by making sure that processes for safe working practives are in place and monitored... protecting people's mental and emotional health is not a different thing to me.
They are vastly different things. We can never be placed in a responsible position with regards to someone's mental health. It's THEIR mental health for a reason. If you can't handle a certain boss, nothing is forcing you to stay there.

Being responsible for someone's ELSES mental health is the worst idea I've heard in a long time. The only person responsible for how I feel is ME.
