In today's episode of The Hearth, we talk about mental health at the workplace.

Together, we'll explore the cost of mental health issues in the workplace, the stigma associated with it, and the transformative steps we can take to foster a healthier, more sustainable work ecosystem.

The first step towards change is understanding the magnitude of the problem.

Did you know that 20% of Americans have a reported mental health condition, with depression and anxiety costing us an estimated $210 billion every year?

And the cost of alcohol and substance abuse? A staggering $400 billion.

Not to mention the increase in suicide rates, the second leading cause of death for those between 15 and 24 years old. Yet, the stigma attached to mental health issues often prevents employees from seeking care.

In this episode, we'll debunk the myths surrounding these issues, encourage open dialogue, and scrutinize practical ways to build a more equitable and sustainable work environment.

I hope you enjoy today's episode.

Candice's Story
Wellbeing in the Workplace

If something you heard today brought a smile to your face or a spark to your heart, and you’d like to connect with me, here are a few ways you can do that.

One is my newsletter, it’s where I put most of my time and energy when I’m not working with clients or on this podcast. Sorry social media! It’s a mix of real life stories, tips and tricks and of course updates on what’s happening with the podcast. Whenever something is going on with me or in my business, it always comes out there first.

Another resource that I have for you is my Guide to Doing Work Differently. The guide takes you through four inquiries into how you can build a more sustainable and equitable work environment for yourself and your team. It's a great place to start.

Last, if you’ve got a burning question, a comment, or a situation you’d like my eyes on, you can email me at candice@fortressandflourish.com.
