COVID-19’s impact has created additional anxiety for those with existing mental health challenges, as well as effecting people without previous struggles. When employees don’t feel safe, supported, or emotionally/financially secure, it’s difficult to be effective on the job, wherever that may be. This May is mental health awareness month, and is a perfect time to improve your social health and wellbeing.
Our data has shown that on average, 20-25% of employees suffer from depression and/or anxiety. And that’s just those that have been identified and are seeking help or treatment! Due to the stress and uncertainty of our current crisis, these numbers are increasing every day.
Download the May Mental Health Awareness 2020 Toolkit by Mental Health of America to share this valuable resource and communication material with your employees.
