This #WorldMentalHealthDay, the Y joins a global call to action to prioritize mental health in the workplace. Employed adults spend more time working than any other activity during their waking hours. At its best, work provides meaning, purpose and joy. Yet, too often, it detracts from our mental well-being. With depression and anxiety affecting workplaces globally, the Y invites you to join us in championing mental health in the workplace. Together, we can create environments where everyone has the potential to thrive! Learn more at wmhdofficial.com.
