Unmanaged mental health conditions cost the U.S. economy $200 billion in lost earnings each year through decreased work performance and productivity. By supporting employees and creating healthy workplaces, employers can make a difference for their staff well-being and their earnings. This is why NAMI is excited to share a new video-led group discussion tool for workplaces.
The video can be used independently or while working collaboratively with a NAMI State Organization or Affiliate. It provides information about mental health and walks participants through a group discussion to determine ways to improve workplace well-being. We recommend this video as a follow up to the NAMI In Our Own Voice presentation.
We have also created a new series of handouts to provide additional information for leaders, supervisors and employees. Learn more about improving workplace culture, or download these resources at www.nami.org/stigmafreeco.
