Supporting minority mental health in the workplace
Directly or indirectly, mental health and substance use challenges affect everyone. But for many people in communities of color, the process of navigating these challenges – especially at work – can be even more difficult.
In observance of Minority Mental Health Awareness Month this July, Mental Health First Aid USA invites county leadership to think honestly about the state of minority mental health in their workplaces. It’s vital for employers to create a foundation to better understand and support the mental wellbeing of a diverse workforce and offer helpful tools and resources. Learn how you can #BeTheDifference for your county workforce.
