From Awareness to Action: Cultivating a Workplace Culture of Mental Well-Being

On May 15, we hosted the second of a three-part series with Dr. Michelle Kees of the University of Michigan, designed to provide practical strategies to foster a workplace culture that prioritizes well-being. Throughout this series, participants have learned how to reduce stigma, promote open dialogue and contribute to a work environment that enhances resilience, engagement and overall well-being. The third episode of the series will take place this week on Thursday, June 12.
