A Mental Health Stigma-Free Workplace Toolkit
It’s become imperative for employers to create a healthy work environment for their employees and cultivate positive outcomes among their workforces. This not only includes building a safer physical work environment but also creating a stigma-free workplace culture. Accomplishing that can foster employee loyalty and retention as well as enhance awareness and acceptance. In a workplace culture where mental illnesses or substance use disorder (SUD) isn’t stigmatized, employees are more likely to be aware of available resources, enter treatment sooner and begin recovery earlier. This toolkit will guide employers on steps they can take to reduce the stigma associated with mental health conditions as well as SUD.
