Throughout my career, I have had the humble opportunity to work with people of all ages, diverse backgrounds, various career and industry experiences. Two things transcend those differences--our humanity and our mental health. Everyone is dealing with something for one reason or another. When we bring those struggles to work, we further impact ourselves as well as our teams and our customers. Getting help when we don't know how or what to ask for is challenging. Thankfully, this topic is less taboo than it was when I started my career, and help is available through many resources. One starting point is Mental Health America: https://lnkd.in/gn9irZD9.
