The Mentally Healthy Workplace

Does your workplace support your mental health? Knowing the connection between optimal health and organizational performance, forward-thinking business leaders are doing all that they can to move the dial on this question toward “yes.” What exactly are they doing? Join me for a conversation with Darcy Gruttadaro, director of the American Psychiatric Association Foundation’s Center for Workplace Mental Health. We’ll talk about how your workplace can become a leader in ending the stigma associated with mental illness, building awareness regarding the incidence of mental health conditions (at least 1 in 5 of us live with them), and improving access to mental health care. We’ll discuss the connections between employer support for mental health, overall wellness, and our ability to feel welcome and included within our workplaces. And, we’ll talk about how these factors contribute to business success and employer of choice status.
