Meeting/Event Information

Whether you are working from home, working from work, or not working at all, the topic of mental health resonates with us all.

The changes to our work environments, social settings, unrest in the political, racial, and social injustice movements, economic turmoil, etc. has taken its toll on all of us. Addressing mental health in the workplace was traditionally a taboo subject for a wound that we almost constantly ignored. Just as wounds are unable to heal if they remain covered up, workplace initiatives have been undergoing radical transformations to heal the wound of mental health struggles in the workplace.

The discussion will emphasize this evolution from the traditional employee wellness programs to candid dialogues and providing much-needed support in terms of offering resources, “mental health” time periods away from work with no questions asked, modified work arrangements, and further discussions surrounding empathy and responsiveness that benefit both employers and employees.
