We just really have to match [mental health] with the attitude instead of access, because many, in many organizations, it is available. We still have this mindset of you should be in crisis, and that's not the way it should go forward. All we would have to do is each person take one small step, and then all of us are better off.
Ever wondered what’s weighing heavily on people's minds as we step into 2023? According to Life Unscripted's Mental Health Index, inflation and isolation are topping the list of stressors. In this episode, host Janice Arnoldi sits down with Paula Allen, Senior Vice President of Research and Total Wellness at Telus Health, to unpack these pressing issues. While anxiety continues to be a significant concern, it's the financial pressures and social disconnection that are hitting hardest.
Paula sheds light on how the workplace can become a sanctuary rather than a source of stress. She emphasizes the need to eliminate stigma and foster an environment where employees look out for one another. Leaders play a crucial role here—they must recognize signs of stress and have plans in place to offer support. The conversation doesn't just stop at identifying problems; it also explores practical solutions.
Creating an inclusive workplace culture is highlighted as key to improving mental health and boosting productivity. This episode also touches on the lasting impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health and addiction, presenting it as a unique opportunity for employers to step up and provide much-needed resources. Personal stories are shared, breaking down stigma and encouraging others to seek help.
If you're looking for expert advice on improving mental health in the workplace or simply want to understand the current mental health landscape better, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable tips.
