Mental health affects every part of our lives and it's becoming an important topic in the workplace, which is why many companies are prioritizing employees mental well-being.
"One of them is by establishing a frontline employee access program. EAP program so that people who need a kind of initial support or direction can access services immediately. Second, is that we provide direct psychiatric services for those that need something a little bit more," said Dr. Eric Storch, Professor & Vice Chair of Psychology at Baylor College of Medicine.
He says they've also expanded their Office of Student Mental Health and Office of Well-Being to provide more treatment, along with a plan to train the next generation on how to address mental health needs. "Another project that we've done is develop out a program for working with parents of children who have anxiety that's freely available, but that teaches parents essentially how to be the therapist for their child's anxiety," Dr. Storch said.Although employers have made a lot of progress, Lopez says not all companies know how to offer help or resources to provide supportive and preventative care.
"That's why it's important to provide training on mental health and how to do things not just knowing here are the resources but how to get access to the resources, how you can start a conversation about mental health," Lopez said.
