Mental Health First Aid in the Workplace: Business Impact and Solutions
Supporting mental health is a top priority for all organizations in today’s workplace. In fact, mental health is now listed as one of our country’s top health concerns. National research indicates that employees across all age groups are struggling with emotional health challenges, which has a direct impact on job performance. Consider that 76% of all employees reported struggling with a mental health condition and job-related stress in the past year (APA, 2024).
This workshop focuses on the current scope of mental health in the United States, its impact to the workplace and best practices associated with developing an HR roadmap to create a psychologically healthy workplace. Specific ideas on how an organization can integrate Mental Health First Aid into their workplace culture will also be discussed.
