Help your employees focus on their behavioral health.
Recognizing and addressing the impact of behavioral health on our workforces remains a top challenge. To do our jobs well, we need to feel well mentally and physically—a full-health approach. While many employers have behavioral health programs in place, many employees are hesitant to seek out the support they need.
We’re here to help.
We developed a ready-to-use, multi-touch toolkit of employee communications. It’s designed to promote dialogue, help address behavioral health challenges affecting your workforce, and drive employee awareness of available behavioral health resources. The content within the toolkit covers a variety of relevant behavioral health topics, including stigma, everyday stressors, burnout, and caregiving.
What’s included:
- Over 55 turnkey communication materials created to engage employees both online and in person such as posters, presentations, newsletters, screensavers, and more.
- An employee quick-reference guide that can be customized to showcase behavioral health resources to your workforce.
- Educational resources for you and other organization leaders such as infographics, whitepapers, and a how-to guide to get you started.

You should exercise discretion and care in educating and training your workforce – both in a management and co-worker capacity – to conduct these discussions around mental and behavioral health issues. While these discussions can be extremely helpful in dealing with day-to-day stressors, and reducing stigma to encourage employees to seek professional help, they are not a substitute or supplement for mental or behavioral health assistance and benefits. Appropriate guidelines and guardrails should be established to mitigate or avoid potential risks under federal or state nondiscrimination, employment, benefits, and other laws, including but not limited to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
