Supporting the mental health of essential workers plays a crucial role in ensuring their overall well-being and resilience. Workers such as healthcare professionals and emergency responders often face high levels of stress, burnout, and trauma due to the demanding nature of their work. Providing effective mental health support can help them cope with these types of challenges and prevent potential long-term negative consequences.
Companies that invest in the support of mental health for their employees have experienced a positive ripple effect on their broader communities. When these workers receive the necessary support, they are better equipped to fulfill their roles effectively, safely, and in a much better frame of mind.
In Season 3 Episode 4 of Stuff My Therapist Says, Sara Makin is joined by Makin Wellness Licensed Professional Counselor Michelle Wygant for a look at the impact mental health support has for essential workers. Throughout this conversation, Sara and Michelle discuss:

  • The importance of supporting mental health initiatives for essential workers across the board
  • Why this subject is getting the attention it deserves in today's workplace
  • The impact ignoring mental health has on workers
  • What your company can do to ensure they're prioritizing your worker's mental health
