Listen now to this important episode with Suzi Craig, Vice President of Workplace Mental Health at Mental Health America (MHA), as we explore what really moves the needle in employee well-being.

Episode Highlights:

Mental Health America’s 2024 Mind the Workplace report gathered responses from nearly 4,000 employees across 21 industries—and the results are in: psychological safety, not just access to resources, is what makes or breaks mental health at work.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How trust and transparency in leadership are the most predictive drivers of workplace well-being

  • What forward-thinking companies are doing beyond compliance to build a thriving culture of support

  • Why mental health strategies must be “baked in”, not bolted on

The Role of Employers in Firearm Safety and Suicide Prevention with US Army Veteran John Cornelius | Ep. 58

Yet, as John eloquently explained, the alarming statistics make a compelling case for proactive measures. When it comes to our youth, the urgency escalates: about 82% of young people who die by firearm suicide obtain these weapons from friends or family members. This is why creating safer homes through responsible firearm storage is a critical aspect of suicide prevention.
