Session Overview:

The number of people experiencing mental health issues accelerated due to the COVID pandemic.  Reports indicate that fewer than one in four U.S. employees feel strongly that their organization cares about their wellbeing -- the lowest percentage in nearly a decade. Since more than 76% of employees indicate they have experienced at least one symptom of mental illness, and over 80% say they will look for employers that support mental health, it becomes crucial for organizations to address this issue at the workplace.  

Learning Objectives:

  1. Describe the process of building a mental health initiative within an organization
  2. Identify methods to destigmatize the issues of mental health, mental illness, and suicide.  
  3. Develop a plan to utilize personal stories to reduce stigma around mental illness.
