StigmaFree workplace
One in five adults experiences a mental health condition each year. This means mental illness stigma affects a significant chunk of the American population, including people in offices and worksites across the nation. Depending on the size of your company, 1 in 5 could represent one person in each department—dozens of human beings on your staff wanting to have a serious conversation about workplace mental health but having zero resources and a whole lot of barriers to do so. Untreated mental health conditions can have a real impact on the day-to-day workings of a company, both financially and in terms of morale. Symptoms can include: sleep problems, lack of concentration, aches and pains, irritability, low motivation or self-medication. These symptoms can have a negative impact on the workplace.
NAMI StigmaFree Workplace is a comprehensive initiative designed to promote mental health awareness, support, and community within organizations. We envision a StigmaFree future where every workplace prioritizes mental health and supports their employees. Through NAMI StigmaFree Workplace, we give our partners the tools and resources to support employees’ mental health in three areas: awareness, culture, and access.
NAMI StigmaFree Workplace is paving the way for a future where mental health is prioritized and every employee feels supported.
