If Your Company Employs People, You Need to Read This

This is a radical truth that most wouldn’t be willing to share on this platform, but as a mental health professional, I cannot stay quiet.

Traumatic, devastating incidents like the mass shooting at a Chesapeake, Virginia, Walmart are being addressed with little more than a politically correct soundbite. While the impacted families reel from the unfathomable loss of mothers, sons, sisters and fathers, the standard corporate message rings hollow:?

“We are focused on doing everything we can to support our associates and their families.”

Here’s the thing: that “everything” corporations are doing MUST be inclusive of mental health workshops.

When mental illness goes undiagnosed and untreated … When it is continuously stigmatized not just in personal relationships but in the workplace … when it is ignored in our communities – suicides, murder, violence and other devastating tragedies continue to pile up.

The only way to prevent these incidents is to be proactive and address mental health problems directly.

If you are in the people business – whether you’re selling goods and services, hiring folks or working with them – mental health issues can and will arise.

Today, I’m imploring corporations and organizations to stop sweeping this topic under the rug. It isn’t taboo. It is part of the human experience. And that’s an element that cannot be erased.

You do not need to have it all figured out, but you do need to start talking about it.

There’s no better way to do that than to normalize the practice of wellness workshops. As a licensed mental health professional who specializes in trauma, I can partner with your organization to create a custom wellness workshop for your employees.

The only way we can stop these tragedies is if we come together. Let me show you how we can do just that with the power of wellness workshops.
