Mental Health in the Workplace: A Continuing Conversation

We have continued to receive positive feedback on this panel, and as positive mental wellbeing it is something of a timeless topic (for better or for worse), we are once again offering a panel presentation and discussion on the subject of mental health in the workplace.

Everyone has their own personal struggles; many of us have diagnosed mental health issues; and still too many have genuine health issues that remain undiagnosed. The good news is that there seems to be more open conversation around the issue of mental health. In fact, a potentially and unexpectedly positive outcome of the pandemic was a global increase in the awareness and conversations around mental health issues. Some people with previously existing mental health struggles had those struggles exaggerated as a result. Some people found that a more isolated or remote lifestyle actually helped them to better manage their mental health struggles. And many people, thousands, perhaps even millions, may have experienced mental health difficulties for the first time.

Regardless of the reasons, these conversations are happening and there is still a way to before we fully normalize discussions of mental health, and provide fully supportive working environments.

Please join in what we hope to be a safe environment for an important conversation.
