Mental health has emerged as one of the most pressing issues in our lives today. And—more than ever—one of the most discussed. Business leaders are starting to speak openly about their own thoughts and struggles, putting this crisis at the top of agendas, and developing programs to create more supportive workplace mental health programs.
What has been the “trickle down” effect of this candor on employee mental health? How are leaders reaching the employees who need to hear the message? What more can be done so people think that supporting mental health is as important as physical health?
Guest: Aly Raisman, gold medal gymnast, advocate, best-selling author. Aly is a retired American artistic gymnast and two-time Olympian. The hope from this episode is that when business leaders, community leaders and influential public figures share their struggles, they pave the way for all of us to talk about mental health.
