In these uncertain times, it’s more important than ever for organizations to ensure they have a solid plan and support systems in place to help employees who are facing professional barriers due to mental health.  Join us at the next EDI Discussion where we will explore how employers and employees can collaborate to create a mentally healthy work environment. Throughout the discussion we’ll hear from leading experts, individuals with lived experience, and those who have successfully implemented mental health strategies in their organizations and will focus on the importance of addressing mental health challenges and the negative impact of untreated issues. Join the discussion and gain practical insights on fostering a culture of support and ensuring an inclusive workplace for all.
