Prevention: Strategies to reduce stigma for mental, physical and financial health

Stigma may be interfering with your organization's success and bottom line. It is a factor not only for individuals with mental illness, but also for employees who face financial difficulties. We know stigma prevents employees from seeking help and taking action. It affects physical and mental well-being, diminishes productivity and leads to absenteeism. But we don't always know what to do or what works best.

In this webinar, we will teach strategies to fight against stigma and preserve the productivity of your workplace. In turn, this may help, positively impact the mental and physical health of your employees.
