During Uncertain Times Employers Must Recognize and Respond to Employees’ Mental Health Concerns

The mental, physical and emotional exhaustion experienced by our front-line workers as a result of the pandemic is widely recognized. The statistical evidence is accumulating and supports that we are all suffering in these categories. Employers must start paying attention. In fact, it should be an integral component of our business recovery planning!

Let's Talk About Mental Health
With one out of five adults in the U.S. experiencing a mental health problem at any given moment, there's a good chance one of your employees is going through something that is impacting their emotional, psychological or social well-being.

But the stigma around mental health can stop people from asking for and getting the help they need.

Help fight the stigma and continue to support your employees with a useful toolkit created by one of our partners - Mental Health Recovery Board of Clark, Greene & Madison Counties.

Free Tools to Support Recovery-Friendly Workplaces
We joined forces with the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, the Governor's Office of Workforce Transformation, RecoveryOhio and the Ohio Chamber of Commerce to offer three, online, recovery-friendly training courses to help employers hire and retain employees in recovery.

These three modules, along with five other training modules we developed for the Ohio Chamber of Commerce's Opioid Toolkit, are available for free on RecoveryOhio's website.

On-going employee education about alcohol and other drug issues is important.

To help you provide information to Spanish-speaking employees in their native language, we have compiled a library of Spanish articles and resources on topics about alcohol and other drugs including information on prevention, misuse and treatment.
