Breaking the Silence on Mental Illness: Bringing Supportive Conversations to the Workplace

Overview: Change and uncertainty is impacting our mental health and our ability to cope. Research shows that one in five will experience a mental illness at some point in their lives. That means that every person is likely to have a family member, friend or co-worker that will struggle with a mental illness. Failing to address these mental health concerns within your team will result in burnout, increased absenteeism, disengagement, and lost productivity. Leaders who know how and feel comfortable in holding a supportive mental health conversation will have teams that can thrive during this uncertainty.
