Workplace Application:
Drawing on 20-years of mental health experience, Dan will help HR professionals identify answers, tools and resources to develop an informed staff.
Today, few companies offer benefits focused on mental health for employees or dependents. Today's HR professionals are faced with employee mental health burdens like never before and don't have tools or answers, resulting in fear and stigma by all parties. Dan Pontius will address the stigma associated around mental health, what businesses can do to address the youth mental health crisis and why it is costing your company money by not acting now.
Learning Objectives:
- Gain a better understanding of the youth mental health crisis in the U.S. and how it is negatively impacting the performance of working parents.
- Learn tools and options for how Human Resource professionals can have meaningful mental health conversations with staff.
- Understand what mental health and wellness benefits should be added to employee benefits packages and identify actionable steps to implement support for mental wellness into corporate cultures.
- Hear why supporting the mental health of employees and their dependents makes sense for the long-term success of a business.
