In 2021, it is an understatement to say that Americans are struggling with their mental health. The global pandemic, or what some have called a “double pandemic” – COVID-19 and its accompanying social isolation – has certainly put an increased spotlight on mental health and wellness. Janice Beauchamp, SVP of HR- Colleague Experience at Pfizer, Jared Fenton, Founder and Executive Director of the Reflect Organization, and Kate Fox, MPH, Public Health Policy Advisor, Philadelphia’s Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual and Disability Services, are our distinguished panelists on today’s episode of the Actively Working Together podcast series. Janice, Jared, and Kate discuss how they are addressing mental health challenges in their respective lines of work and brainstorm on how the three sectors can work together to provide long-term solutions to aid all members of our society on the path to mental wellness.
