It’s important to know that mental health problems are more common than we think and that symptoms can be managed with the right help and treatment.

  • Consider the manager’s role in supporting employee mental health
  • Learn how and when to have a check-in conversation

  • Reflect on present-day challenges
  • Recognize opportunities for growth in the face of adversity
  • Discuss what it means to be mentally tough
