As we observe World Mental Health Day, we're sharing inspiration from Pinside Out, our employee interest group that creates a unique space for employees to connect on mental health topics. Here's what Pinside Out Global Leads Jaime P., Meredith Arthur and Lise Statelman shared about supporting the Pinterest team and how they're acknowledging the day: "Pinside Out's community programming addresses topics from anxiety and stress to grief, post-traumatic stress disorder, and depression. These are all common experiences that affect employees' productivity. They need a safe space to exist and be supported. This year, we are encouraging people to invest time in seeking inspiration, whether it's through planning a future event, spending time in nature, getting creative, or connecting with community." ?
