Today was an emotional and inspiring day as I led the “Canvas of Hope” on the Wellness Stage at the SHRM conference in McCormick Place Chicago. People courageously came up and shared their mental health struggles with me. Stories of loss. Stories of pain. Stories of hope. Stories of growth. Seeing many of those same faces at my talk on “Mental Health at Work” was incredibly moving. We discussed how to bring mental health training and support into the workplace, benefiting not only their teams but also the communities and customers they serve. Definitely ending the day with a nice bubble bath. This Mama is gonna need to wear some comfy tennis shoes tomorrow with all this walking! ?? #SHRM24 #WorkplaceMentalHealth #MentalHealth #CanvasOfHope #PeopleCulture #Inspiration #Chicago #WellnessStage #MentalHealthAtWork
