Mental health conversations in the workplace are important! Here's how you can reduce stigma and promote positive mental health at work:

✅ Talk about mental health at work. This breaks down stigma and gives people permission to seek support if they need it. This can be in employee meetings, individual meetings with employees or in communications like newsletters.

✅ Train your managers on how to support struggling employees. This includes how to recognize common signs of mental health issues as well as what resources are available to support them.

✅ Make Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) or other benefits known and easily accessible.
