After the past couple of years of unrest, mental health has been catapulted into the spotlight and has been a big focus of many workplaces. Unfortunately, it’s a subject some businesses might need more preparation for than others. If you have mental wellness support programs for staff, use every opportunity to promote these. For example, on October 10th of this year, there was a large campaign promoting World Mental Health Day. This was merely one opportunity to break free of the stigma following mental unwellness by holding activities to show those suffering that companies are striving for a more positive and inclusive work environment. Through varied programs, events, and just leaving doors open, you can promote an anti-stigma culture where the topic can be discussed in the same breath as any illness. Let’s look at a few activities that will help to promote a more friendly atmosphere toward mental health.
