When a person lives with diabetes, heart disease,

When a person lives with diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, or other nonstigmatized illness, they frequently receive support from family and friends. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If the person is hospitalized for their illness, their family and friends may reach out to help with recovery including bringing food and other items to support the individual.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If a person is hospitalized for a mental illness, is the outpouring of support the same?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Many times, a person with mental illness is forgotten or neglected because we don't know how to support them.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are many misconceptions about mental illness and substance use which leads to stigma and discrimination.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The problem is, they are invisible diseases that are often described as a moral failing rather than a treatable disease. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The truth is, mental illness and substance use are both treatable diseases. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Conversations about mental well-being must be as natural and as frequent as a conversation about physical well-being. Especially in the workplace. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No Shame. It could save a life.

Individuals thrive when they are in a safe environ

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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Many are too afraid to ask for help because they fear speaking openly could result in retribution and ultimately - job loss. This could lead to decreased performance, absenteeism, and presenteeism. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Making one key shift in communication about mental health in the workplace fosters a safe climate of vulnerability that supports employee health, wellness, engagement, and productivity. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Not everyone who suffers from an invisible illness

Not everyone who suffers from an invisible illness takes the necessary time away from work to recover. Some employees can work throughout their illness while others do not. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Researchers have found that less time is lost from employees being absent from work, rather than showing up but not performing at full capacity.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Employees showing up and not working at full capacity, due to an illness or outside contributing factor, is known as presenteeism.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Presenteeism has the potential to cut individual productivity by 1/3. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Those who work while ill have the propensity to work at a less than optimal level, experience decreased concentration, and are prone to making mistakes.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Working at a less than optimal level can result in poor interactions with customers, patients, and co-workers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Consider the size of your workforce and the number of employees experiencing presenteeism. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What is the impact on your organization?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
