Would you be able to identify the warning signs of anxiety, depression, substance use or suicidal behavior, in your employees if you saw it? If you did notice something, would you know how to best help in a crisis?
Approximately 1 in 25 adults in the U.S.—9.8 million, or 4.0%—experiences a serious mental illness in a given year that substantially interferes with or limits one or more major life activities.*
Speaker Angie Schultz, Community Education Specialist with Ottawa County Mental Health will cover some mental health basics in the workplace, signs and symptoms, how to connect those employees to free resources and what you can do to help.
