It can affect individuals, families, coworkers, and employers. The cost of mental illness in the workplace is staggering and is forcing leaders to understand how to effectively address mental illness by creating a mentally healthy workplace culture.

Problem: Individuals thrive when they are in a safe environment. A safe environment fosters truth and vulnerability and provides a sense of belonging. Employees struggling with mental health and substance use rarely feel their work environment is a place of safety.
Solution: Making one key shift in communication about mental health fosters a safe climate of vulnerability that supports employee health, wellness, engagement, and productivity. By opening the conversation about mental health in the workplace, you empower employees to speak their truth and remove blockages to peak performance.
